How to get there…
Leeds railway station is approximately two miles from Elland Road. You can walk or take a matchday shuttle bus, with services R2 and R3 taking you from the city centre to Elland Road.
Direct services leave London Kings Cross at .03 and .33 past the hour, taking around two hours and 15 minutes to complete the direct journey, with stops at Stevenage, Grantham, Peterborough, Doncaster or Wakefield Westgate, depending on which train you take.
It will not be possible to travel back to London by train on Friday evening, so an overnight stay will be required.
On Saturday morning, direct services depart Leeds regularly. However, engineering work will mean diversions will be in place and journey times could be longer than usual.
If you drive, a Park and Ride scheme will operate from Temple Green and Stourton Park & Ride sites. Temple Green is situated in the Aire Valley off the A63 near Junction 45 on the M1, while Stourton is situated at Junction 7 on the M621, off Junction 43 on the M1.
