Transport alert

Season opener

August away ends sell out early and summer engineering works are common. Book travel as soon as tickets drop — everyone is keen in week one.

Ground note

Away coaches are directed to the stadium car parks and held after full time.

Ground note

Pride Park is exposed — the wind off the flat land makes it feel colder than the forecast.
