Tram replacement to Hillsborough for Wednesdays v Stockport

There are limited buses to Hillsborough Stadium this evening (August 8) for Owls vs Stockport

Football fans heading to Hillsborough[1] for today’s match between Sheffield[2] Wednesdays and Stockport County will not be able to take the tram[3].

Rail replacement works are underway to replace Sheffield’s worn out tram lines between Shalesmoor and both Middlewood and Malin Bridge until August 9.

It means there will be no trams heading to Hillsborough Park today (August 8) for the Wednesdays game against Stockport County F.C at 7.45pm.

“Replacement bus services will continue to operate but will provide limited capacity. Additional replacement bus services will not operate and there will be no additional trams to and from Shalesmoor.”
