Travel Information For Walsall FC

By Road

Banks’s Stadium is located right next to the M6, in fact you can see it from the motorway just north of the RAC Control Centre.

Unfortunately, this stretch of motorway normally has a large traffic jam on both Saturday lunchtimes and early weekday evenings, so allow extra time.

Post Code for SAT NAV: WS1 4SA

 

Car Parking

There is a good sized car park located at the ground behind the away stand, which costs £4.

The car park lends itself to a quick getaway after the match. Bescot Railway Station also offers car parking for £2.

Alternatively there is some street parking to be had off Wallowes Lane.

From M6 South

Leave the M6 at Junction 7 and take the A34 towards Walsall (beware though of speed cameras on this stretch of dual carriageway).

At the end of the dual carriageway turn left at the Bell Inn public house into Walstead Road (sign posted Bescot Stadium, Bescot Station Park & Ride).

Continue straight on this road for two miles, passing another pub called the Tiger on your left. You will come to Bescot Stadium and entrance to the away end on your right.

Bescot Stadium Railway Station is just a two minute walk from the stadium. It is served by trains from Birmingham Grand Central (New Street) and Wolverhampton.

The Banks’s Stadium has its own Railway Station, called Bescot Stadium which is situated behind the away end and is only a few minutes walk from the turnstiles.

Trains run there on a local line from Birmingham New Street and the journey time is around 20 minutes.

There is a regular service on Saturdays along this line and you should not have too many problems getting away after the game.
