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.
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.
