Getting to Elland Road : Thu Feb 26, 2009 2:06 pm  

Sorry to be dull but...

What's the best way to get to Elland Road from Leeds station? A few of us are heading over from Donny and sorting out arrangements

There's plenty of taxi's from outside the station, which if there's a few of you will probably work out easier/cheaper than a bus.

The nearest train station is Cottingley, but the service is very infrequent on a Sunday, and it's about a 15 minute walk from there to the ground.

Other than that, there may be special buses running to the mini-bus station at the ground, but I've not heard anything yet. The service buses to Morley (51/51A) take you right outside, and they depart from outside Leeds Market, which is a 5/10 minute walk from the train station.

Me and my Aussie mates did it for the WCC back in 05. Busses are also being layed on from 4 straight to the ground too from the city centre so that will probably be the best option. £2.50 for adults and £1.25 for Kids. From www.therhinos.co.uk First Bus will be running a shuttle buses from Leeds city centre, from a new location on Sovereign Street to the ground and back after the game. The service starts 2 hours before the kick off, which in this case will be 16.00hrs. There is not a specific time for the special buses to finish, however it will be when the majority of the crowd have gone. There is also a local service but as it is Sunday it will be limited. The cost of the tickets is Adult £2.50 return, Juniors £1.25 return.

How can the police be invovled? I didn't know it was illegal to hire a Beeston Tour Guide for an hour or so. What we do with that time, between 2 (or at least 1 )consenting adult is up to us.
