By train

Preston is well connected on the West Coast Main Line. Deepdale is around a 25-30 minute walk from the station, mainly through the city centre and past Moor Park.

Preston station information

By bus or taxi

Local buses run from Preston bus station towards Deepdale and Royal Preston Hospital. Check live times because matchday congestion affects the final part of the journey.

Driving

The M6, M61 and A59 provide the main approaches. Junction 31A is commonly used from the north, while routes vary from the south. Allow extra time around Blackpool Road and Sir Tom Finney Way.

After the match

The walk back to central Preston is often more predictable than waiting in road traffic. Drivers should expect delays around Blackpool Road and the motorway approaches.

Travel, parking, ticket allocations and stadium procedures can change by fixture. Check the latest information from both clubs and the relevant operator before travelling. Guide checked 10 September 2026.
