Getting there

  • Leeds station — Main city station, around 30 minutes' walk to the ground or a short bus down Elland Road.
  • Bus 4, 12, 51 — Frequent services run from the city centre close to the ground on matchdays.
  • Driving — M621 J2 or J3 lead straight to Elland Road; official car parks fill early but clear reasonably well after the match.

Safe away spots

  • Elland Road chip vans — A row of stalls outside the ground serving the traditional pre-match pie and chips. Map
  • Leeds city centre — For a longer pre-match, the Corn Exchange and Call Lane areas are 30 minutes away by foot or a short bus ride. Map

Transport alert

Standard Saturday

Nothing unusual in the Leeds diary for this date. Book advance rail tickets 12 weeks out and check the operator's works page the Monday before.

Ground note

Elland Road is a considerable walk from the city centre — factor this in, especially in poor weather.

Ground note

Yorkshire derbies see heavy policing and tightly managed away routes; check for specific instructions before travelling.
