Getting to the stadium

Air
Stoke-on-Trent’s central position in England means several major airports are within easy reach. Manchester International Airport, Birmingham International Airport, Liverpool’s John Lennon Airport and East Midlands Airport are all around an hour away from the City. 

Rail
Stoke-on-Trent Railway Station is situated on the West Coast Main Line and provides direct access from London, Manchester, Birmingham, Derby and Crewe. The station offers a bar owned by Titanic Brewery, a local brewery, Bureau de Change, ATM machine and two coffee shops, along with toilet and Wi-Fi facilities. 

Please note: Away supporters are often met by the police at the railway station and taken to Staffordshire University or a pub near to it for refreshments. They are then shuttle bussed up to the bet365 Stadium. 

After the game, there are buses that return away fans to the railway station. 

A taxi rank is accessible from Platform 1 or by exiting the station at the main entrance and turning left. 

Motorway
The bet365 Stadium is a five-minute drive away from Junction 15 of the M6 for those travelling from the north or south, and is also the last turn off on the A50 when heading from the east. You can also reach it from the west via the A500 at junction 16 of the M6. Once near the ground, simply follow the signs.
