Sheffield station formerly known as Sheffield Midland is to the south-east side of the city centre, at the bottom of a steepish pedestrianised street Howard Street that leads to the city centre. A major redevelopment of the public spaces between the station at the city centre was completed in early 2007, creating a new public square immediately outside the station and improving the pedestrian route to the city centre. You can reach the city centre on foot in less than ten minutes, or in about five minutes by tram or the free city centre bus "Free Bee": every seven minutes.

Tram services stop next to the station Sheffield Station/Sheffield Hallam University stop, directly outside the end of the pedestrian bridge that crosses over the platforms there is a lift, but no escalator, from the station concourse and platforms.

Meadowhall Station is located at the Meadowhall shopping mall in northwestern Sheffield, but can also serve as a useful point to reach the Arena, Don Valley stadium or the Valley Centertainment leisure park. The station itself has two platforms and is straight next to the Supertram Interchange, with an indoor waiting area linking the two.

Most long-distance coaches and city buses, including the free bus, stop at the Sheffield Interchange: two minutes walk from the station across the pelican crossing and through the covered walkway or the nearby streets.

Sheffield sits beside the M1 motorway and is most easily reached from junction 33, which connects to the city centre via the Sheffield Parkway. A convenient park and ride tram stop is located close to the city end of the Parkway, and if you're only visiting for the day, you are strongly recommended to use it.

Fifteen miles further north on the M1, you can connect with the M62, the main route from places North Wales, Liverpool and Manchester and east Hull ferries to mainland Europe.

For the more scenic route from Manchester, the Snake or Woodhead Passes A57 and A628 make for a breath-taking trip through the Peak District National Park. It is also possible to use the Peak District as the scenic route to Bakewell and Sheffield from Birmingham via Lichfield and Ashbourne or Stoke on Trent via Leek and Longnor. Beware that the route becomes very busy over holiday periods, and can be treacherous during cold or snowy weather.

Sheffield provides a park and ride service aswell as station car parking, see National Park and Ride Directory (http://www.parkandride.ne...).
