Local transport
TramsTrams link the railway station and the city centre directly to the University. The tram stop is located at the back of the railway station. Trams from the station to the University run on the Blue route (destination Malin Bridge). Trams from the city centre to the University run on both the Blue route and the Yellow route (destination Middlewood). During the day, trams run every 10 minutes (15 minutes on Sundays) from 6.00am to midnight. Some departments are best accessed by alighting at the West Street stop, while for others it is best to use the University of Sheffield stop. Check which one is best to use before you start your journey. |
