Sheffield Wednesday vs Stockport: Tram replacement buses to Hillsborough Stadium - here's what you should know

Football fans heading to Hillsborough for today's match between Sheffield Wednesdays and Stockport County will not be able to take the tram.

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.
