Hillsborough Rail and Tube

Don't bother with Leppings Lane

After the game you can do the 5 minute walk to Middlewood Tram Stop and get on there, this is the last stop on the line so you will get on easier here than waiting at Leppings Lane.

Tram line information

The ground is served from mainline Sheffield station by a tram. Away fans alight at the infamous Leppings Lane stop.

You will experience crowds as you try to get on the tram, so if you have small children with you ..."keep an eye out or you might lose them like i did". You'll only have to wait a few minutes for the next one.
