You can travel by bus from Gothenburg to Trollhättan. Departures:
- Bus 99 from Gothenburg Central "Läge A" (= "position A") 08.10 (arrival: 09.14)
- Bus 600 from Nils Ericson Terminal 08.15 (09.42)
- Bus 72B from Gothenburg Central "Läge A" (= "position A") 08.40 (09.45)
"Läge A" is after the railway tracks where the "long trip buses" starts. Bus number 72B is a replacement for the train, they have some problems with the trains between Gothenburg and Trollhättan right now. West Ham Fans Sweden have been in contact with the company and informed them that it probably will be more people on the 8.40-bus than usual. They said that perhaps there will be an extrabus if neccesary. Otherwise some will have to take the 9.45-bus but they seemed rather cooperative, though.

- Bus 600 from Nils Ericson Terminal 10.45 (12.12)
