Travel
Road links
Sheffield's motorway link is the M1, junctions 33 and 34. You are recommended to leave at junction 33 and proceed into the city centre by way of the Parkway.
National Express' coach service for long distance travel is comprehensive and efficient. Its central pick up and terminal point in Sheffield is at the Transport Interchange. Megabus provides low-cost transportation with double-decker buses.
Rail links
Train connections can be looked up on the National Rail website (or on the more browser friendly accessible UK train tables). The local railway operator Midland Mainline sometimes offers discounted tickets. You have to book these in advance.
London is two-and-a-half hours away by train, Manchester, Leeds and Birmingham one hour and Edinburgh four hours.
Sheffield's Midland Station is just a two minute walk away from our City Campus and the nearby Transport Interchange links you directly to our other two campuses of Collegiate Crescent and Psalter Lane.
Air links
The nearest airports that serve Sheffield are Manchester Aiport, Robin Hood Doncaster Airport, East Midlands Airport, Leeds-Bradford Airport and Birmingham Airport. When booking tickets be aware of the fact there are no train services early morning and late at night especially so during the weekend! Note that Manchester Airport and Manchester Picadilly are two different train stations.
Local Transport
You can use the tram for travelling in the city. Also there are local rail and bus operators for travelling in and around the city. Travel South Yorkshire provides a website bringing all services together.
