Park & Ride buses for Newcastle United v Leicester City

Getting to St James' Park is really easy with us as we run two dedicated Park & Ride routes. You can park in Metrocentre Coach Park and catch our X50 Soccerbus or at Newcastle Great Park and catch our Quaylink Q3.

Soccerbus

Soccerbus

  • Soccerbus is a direct link between the Metrocentre and St James’ Park on Newcastle United home match days, offering a convenient Park & Ride service and easy access to the stadium for everyone.
  • Runs for all Newcastle United first team home matches during the 2015/16 football season, including pre-season friendlies.
  • The first bus leaves the Metrocentre (Coach Park) two hours before each match. Buses then run at frequent intervals until the last departure 15 minutes before the scheduled kick-off time.
  • Buses return from St James’ Park at frequent intervals after each match. The last bus leaves one hour after the final whistle.
  • Free parking in dedicated spaces at the Metrocentre Coach Park – an attendant is on hand to guide you to the reserved parking spaces.
  • Open to everyone, offering direct access to the stadium before/after each match.

  • On evenings and Sundays, the normal timetabled buses will serve the Park and Ride site, as well as additional journeys operating so that buses run up to every 15 minutes. The first bus leaves the Great Park & Ride site approximately two hours before each match.
