By Train:
Situated on the East Coast Mainline, Newcastle Central Station is a principle stop for services between London and Edinburgh/Glasgow. In addition to regional services, it also offers direct cross-country routes to and from Leeds, Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham and Bristol.
The station is a ten-minute walk from St. James’ Park, walk west along Neville Street (A186) and turn right onto St. James’ Boulevard. The stadium is located at the top of the road and will become visible as you reach the junction with Bath Lane/ Wellington Street.
By Metro:
Newcastle upon Tyne is served by the Tyne & Wear Metro system; a light rail network with frequent services between Newcastle Airport, Newcastle city centre, the coast, and major transport interchanges and destinations south to Wearside.
We recommend St. James’ Metro station for local coastal destinations, while Monument station – a five-minute walk away – is served by both yellow and green line routes towards Newcastle International Airport, South Shields and the coast.
By Bus:
Newcastle upon Tyne has two major bus stations for local and regional services – Haymarket, for services to and from Northumberland and the North, and Eldon Square, for services to and from County Durham and the South. Both are located on Percy Street, a five-minute walk from St. James’ Park.
To reach the stadium, walk south west on Percy Street and turn right onto Gallowgate. St. James’ Park will become visible on your right. For more information on local bus services, please visit nexus.org.uk/bus.
By Coach:
Newcastle Coach Station is on St. James’ Boulevard and receives National Express coach services, while Megabus operates services from outside Newcastle Central Station. Both offer frequent services from across the UK with links to Europe. If you plan to travel via a private fan coach, please contact Northumbria Police Football Planning team on planning.for.newcastle.football@northumbria. police.uk They will be happy to advise you on suitable drop-off points.
Park & Ride:
We operate a park and ride system from the Metrocentre, one of Europe’s biggest shopping centres. The X50 bus provides a direct link between the Metrocentre and St. James’ Park on match days, at a cost of only £2 return for adults and £1 for under 19’s. The X50 will drop off on Barrack Road but due to road closure trials for the 25/26 season, will return from St James’ Boulevard. For directions, timetables and additional information, please visit here.

There are taxi services available throughout the city, with major taxi ranks located at Newcastle Central Station and transport interchanges.
The nearest taxi rank to St. James’ Park is situated two-minutes away on foot, opposite the entrance to Chinatown.
