Main stations

Use the station that fits the accommodation and stadium route, not simply the first result in a journey search.
01

Newcastle Central Station

Principal intercity rail and Metro interchange

The stadium is walkable through the centre; Metro services also connect to St James station.

02

Monument

Central Metro interchange

A useful city-centre point for walking to the stadium or changing within the Metro network.

03

Haymarket

Metro and bus interchange

Close to the stadium area and useful for northbound accommodation or bus connections.

04 · matchday route

City centre to the stadium

The final event plan can change station access, pedestrian controls and road closures. Recheck before every match.
Newcastle city centre

St James’ Park

Recommended approach
Walk from Central Station, Monument or Haymarket when practical. St James Metro station serves the stadium directly.
Alternatives
City buses and taxis can reach the central area, but event road controls make the final walking leg important.
After full time
Walking can disperse crowds better than immediately entering St James Metro. Choose the return station by the onward destination.

05 · the return leg

Plan beyond full time

  1. Use the direct airport Metro as the default city arrival.
  2. Treat the stadium as a central walking destination, not a remote transfer.
  3. Check Nexus live status before leaving the accommodation.
  4. After the match, compare St James, Monument, Haymarket and Central by the onward route.
Accessibility check

Check Nexus lift status and the stadium’s accessible entrance instructions. A city-centre walk may be simple geographically but not suitable for every traveller.
