e10_yellow 0 Posted October 5, 2009 I''ll be going by train from Sheffield too. Looks like on matchdays they run shuttle buses from outside the station to the ground and back again for £2.50. Otherwise there''s directions here for a 35 minute walk http://www.footballgroundguide.com/leeds_united/#By%20Train Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rupethebear 0 Posted October 5, 2009 A word of warning.....I went by train once to Elland Road to watch City and got ''jumped on'' and ended up getting saved by The Police. Getting to the ground is fine is getting back to the staion afterwards.....would never do it again!!Imagine if we beat them, sorry but they still have many thugs.....Been to Leeds twice since and parked in the car park across the road, that''s the best bet!
