A shuttle bus service continues between Stoke (Glebe Street) and the Britannia Stadium at 15 minute intervals up until 15 minutes before kick-off. Return buses depart immediately after the match from bus terminals behind the Sentinel Stand (East). Normal fares apply.

By Foot
Pedestrians can walk to the Britannia Stadium on a matchday from Stoke using existing footpaths along the bridge over the A500, which lead to the incinerator access road, to link up with the footway/cycleway (and the bridge over the canal and railway line) to the stadium. Pedestrians can also link up with the new footway from the towpath which runs along the Trent and Mersey canal. Supporters can walk from Heron Cross (Grove Road) and Hollybush (Highfield Drive) to the stadium, along a footway/cycleway, but pedestrians coming from Heron Cross should be aware that they must cross the A50 at Heron Cross using the footbridge as a 1.8m high fence prevents crossing the road any further down.
