Sunderland AFC
Stadium of
Light
By
Train and Metro
Sunderland train station in the city centre is
walkable from the stadium (around 15 minutes). Paul Duck informs me;
'You will exit the station opposite Greggs. Turn right out of
the station heading up towards a JJB Sports store and walk
through the gap between JJB and a nail bar to the right of JJB.
Keep walking straight ahead and within 100m you will see the Stadium
Of Light rising up in front of you over the Wearmouth Bridge'.
Simply cross the bridge, and turn left into Millennium
Way, opposite the now closed Wheatsheaf pub. The away
turnstiles are located on the side of the ground which is straight
ahead.
Ashley Smith adds; "The Metro
stations called the 'Stadium of Light' and
'St. Peters' both serve the stadium. The
metro provides regular and rapid transport from both Newcastle and
the South of Sunderland. Both stations are only a few minutes walk
from the stadium, although away supporters should alight at St
Peters Station as that is closer to their entrance. This provides an
alternative to the regular rail services. Please note though that
after the game the Stadium of Light metro station only operates
Northbound (i.e. towards Newcastle) and St Peters metro station only
operates Southbound (i.e. towards Sunderland
centre). |
