Try here; http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/ (http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/)

There may be the odd direct train from Piccadilly, but the best bet will probably be Piccadilly to Birmingham New Street and change for Burton. If you don't have a railcard it should cost you around £20.

The ground is about a twenty five minute walk from the station (turn left out of the station and right on to Derby Rd and continue until you see the ground) alternatively there is a taxi rank outside the station and the fare should be about £4.

It's dead easy to get to Burton on the train, me and Swaying went for the play off final in May.

As above change at Birmingham, stick two fingers up as you go through Tamworth and you're there.

Just don't take the scenic route we did, Swaying thought every light he saw was a flood light!!  ::)
