How to Reach the Deeprun Tram and Where the Entrances Are

◆Where the Deeprun Tram is

The tram runs deep underground between Stormwind in Elwynn Forest and Ironforge in Dun Morogh. It is a small separate location with two stations, one under each city. Trains of several cars run between the stations on two parallel tracks, and the middle of the tunnel passes through an underground lake — you can see water and fish through the windows.

Character level does not matter: you can ride it at level one as long as you reach either capital.

How to get there as Alliance

From the Stormwind side:

1. Enter Stormwind through the main gate from Elwynn Forest.
2. Head to the Dwarven District in the north-east of the city.
3. Find the large archway with gnomish machinery and walk down the tunnel to the station.
4. Stand on the platform and wait for the cars — the tram arrives on its own and boarding is free.

From the Ironforge side:

1. Pass through the main gate of Ironforge from Dun Morogh.
2. Go to Tinker Town, the gnomish quarter of the city.
3. Walk down the long tunnel to the station and board a car.

Night elves first have to sail from Auberdine to Menethil Harbor and walk to Ironforge — the route is described in how to get to Menethil Harbor and how to get to Ironforge. The road to Stormwind is covered in how to get to Stormwind.

How to get there as Horde

Horde has no normal access to the tram. Both entrances are hidden inside Alliance capitals, and reaching them means fighting through city guards. The cars themselves do not throw Horde players out, so rogues and raid-minded players sometimes sneak into a station for PvP, but as a way to travel the tram is useless to the Horde. Horde travel options are better found in the flight paths guide.

Where the entrance is and how not to get lost

• Stormwind: the entrance is in the Dwarven District, next to the district workshops and forges. If you get lost, ask a city guard — he will mark the spot on your map.
• Ironforge: the entrance is in Tinker Town. The tunnel is quite long and slopes down, that is normal.
• Each station has two platforms, one per track. It does not matter which one you pick: both trains shuttle between the cities.
• On the Ironforge side you will find the gnome Monty at the station, «Rat Extermination Specialist». He offers a short chain of two quests: Deeprun Rat Roundup and Me Brother, Nipsy. Nipsy waits for you at the Stormwind station and sells rat kabobs.

For the first quest Monty hands you a flute — use it to charm five rats and lead them back to him:

◆Why ride the Deeprun Tram

The tram is the fastest way to move between the two main Alliance capitals without a flight path. It is especially handy at low levels: dwarves and gnomes reach Stormwind for its trainers and auction house, while humans reach Ironforge for its vendors and professions. What each city offers is covered in the Stormwind city guide and the Ironforge city guide.
