Getting to bet365 Stadium: nearest station

Stoke-on-Trent station is a 25-minute walk along the A500 underpass route. Matchday shuttle buses run from the station, which is the smarter shout, the walk along the dual carriageway is uninspiring. Direct trains from London Euston, Manchester and Birmingham. Driving in off the M6 J15 is easy with plenty of on-site parking.
