How to get to Olympic Park???

[BlackAndWhite]

Hi,

As some of you will know, we have just arrived in Melbourne from the UK, and we are really looking forward to our first Storm game at Olympic Park.

Just one problem, we are having problems working out how to get from Kew to Olympic Park on Sunday. So, if anyone can let us know which buses or trams we can get to get there we would really appreciate it.

Thanks for your help.

Have you got a membership or pre-purchased tickets for the game?

If no, then I suggest getting to the ground at least 30 minutes before kick off.

If you can make it to Kew Junction and catch the No69 Tram from Cotham Road heading towards St Kilda.

Exit the tram at the intersection of Glenferrie Road and Riversdale Road and catch the No70 Tram headed towards the City.

The No70 Tram goes along Swan Street and stops right in front of the Graveyard! Travel time should be about 25 - 35 mins dpending on traffic.

Hopefully this helps and Go Storm!!

Hi Surandy,

Thanks for the advice. We are planning to drive to Olympic Park today to sort out our memberships.

Thanks for that.

After posting the original message we discovered the No70 tram, so we are OK with that bit. I think we may get the bus into the city, as we are slightly away from Kew Junction, and then get the No70.

Are the buses reliable?

Hey BlackAndWhite,

Did you get your memberships sorted out? Hope the Storm turn it on for you, and everyone else.

Should be fairly reliable on a Sunday. Hopefully there shouldn't be too much traffic but as our fellow Stormers have suggested, get there early and drop by to any of the pubs around Richmond and soak up the atmosphere on gameday!

Yeah it's always best to allow a little extra time if you're catching the 70 to OP because sometimes the tram sails right past without stopping because it's already filled to bursting with fellow Storm fans.
