Getting Here

You can get to The Hawthorns on public transport by bus, tram or train. The nearest train station is The Hawthorns which is situated 0.3 miles away from the stadium and has 12 accessible car parking spaces. New automatic audio announcement systems and electronic information screens have been installed, providing audible and visual information about the next train to arrive. Trains have push-button-operated powered sliding doors, flat wide entrances, good internal lighting and handy grab rails. The floor areas near the doors have a colour-contrasted finish together with door opening and closing buttons that have colour-contrast surrounds, as well as tactile and Braille text. Every tram has been designed to enable easy access and there is level access between the tram and the platform edge. The trams have bright, colour-contrasting doors and handrails, priority seats for disabled people and people with mobility difficulties, two spaces for wheelchair users, next stop visual information and audio announcements. A customer service representative is always on board so please approach them if you need help. The number 74 bus has clearly marked priority seats for anyone who needs them. These priority seats have more legroom than a standard seat, and there is space underneath for an assistance dog. The bus floor is non-slip and there are colour-contrasting handrails on the side of each door, with horizontal handrails in the gangway areas. A dedicated wheelchair space is normally located on the right hand side of the bus.

Parking

We’ve got plenty of free parking for Blue Badge holders holding match tickets on the Sandwell Academy Car Park on Halfords Lane. This is ideal for easy access to the Accessible Concourse entrance, as well as to the Disabled Access entrance on the corner of the West Stand and Birmingham Road End. Stewards at this entrance will be happy to help supporters with access. Disabled supporters who have tickets for the East Stand Executive Suites and are Blue Badge holders can also park on the main car park. Away fans should contract us in advance so arrangements can be made with the West Midlands Police that allows coach drivers to use designated drop-off & pick-up points for their Disabled Supporters.
