Fancy Burton Away By Train?

Last updated : 30 August 2015 By Covsupport News Service

If you fancy going by train to Coventry City's League One game at Burton Albion on Sunday, here are a few options.

Burton Railway Station is served by both Virgin Trains and by Central Trains with regular services running from Nottingham and Derby down to Birmingham, via Burton on Trent, but trains from Newcastle in the north right down to Weston Super Mare in the south also serve the station.

If you are travelling from Coventry or the south, then you will need to change at Birmingham New Street.

The trains from Birmingham New Street are:

Dep BNS 11.03 Arr Burton 11.24

Dep BNS 11.49 Arr Burton 12.18

Dep BNS 12.49 Arr Burton 13.18

Dep BNS 13.03 Arr Burton 13.24

Dep Burton 17.37 Arr BNS 18.02

Dep Burton 17.47 Arr BNS 18.19

The trains from Derby for those from the North East are:

Dep Derby 11.29 Arr Burton 11.39

Dep Derby 11.36 Arr Burton 11.47

Dep Derby 12.36 Arr Burton 12.47

Dep Derby 13.32 Arr Burton 13.42

Dep Burton 17.19 Arr Derby 17.33

Dep Burton 17.28 Arr Derby 17.40

The train station is around half a mile to the west of the town centre and around 1½ miles from the ground, which means a walk of around 25 – 30 minutes across town. On the positive side however, it is a fairly straight forward route on leaving the station where you turn left and roll down the hill, taking a left onto Derby Street and carry on all the way along, past the junction on the left with the A511 until the roundabout with the junction with Princess Way.
