This is an instance, but not in the standard sense. The instance provides fast and direct travel between Stormwind, the Human capital, and Ironforge, the Dwarven/Gnomish capital. This travel is without cost or risk of attack by NPC creeps.

Comment by Orik

Takes around 1 minute to travel there. Much faster then a gryphon, and you can see amazing mobs. If your lucky you can see Nessy, a deeprun monster.

Deeprun mobs such as naga and nessy are located inside a underwater tank. Built by the gnomes. Gnomish Divers are also located their too. The flute quest is really fun. If your going to train your new weapon skill, kill the rats.

How on earth did Rainfall get that picture in the water?

Some sort of Private Server?

I've seen horde in the tram before, but I didn't know you could get in the tank. How?

Comment by 30722

If you happen to be a horde, feared thru the tram portal, don't fall off into the blue holes where buildings should be, its basically like falling off the sides of outland or netherstorm, theres no way to get back to your body, but you can see the tram while your dead so it makes it easier to attempt to look.

there is no map for the deeprun tram, if you open your map it shows a map of stormwind

Comment by Tyrsenus

Despite that Stormwind lies almost directly south of Ironforge, the tram track runs east - west on the mini-map. Furthermore, there are no bodies of water between the two cities even though the tram passes underwater.

Way back in beta the tram used to run in between IF and Darn, hence the water and the direction of it, but they were too lazy to change it lol.

I have seen dead mobs and players in the water.. just saw a undead mage in the water and i saw a dead naga and shark.. while going from SW to IF

I have discovered a new object to in the Deeprun Tram "ocean area"! Near the Naga Siren and the Deeprun driver there is a chest labeled "The Deeprun Chest". When i moused over it, it showed the little gizmo thing, indicating it could be opened. However, i have no idea how to get inside the tank, i wonder wut is inside. And since WoWhead has no record of it in its files, who knows what mysteries it hides........

This macro is now obsolete, and Blizzard has fixed that.

However, there are still two ways to get inside of the tank.

If you're horde rogue, Shadowstep the Deeprun Diver, which will put you inside the tank.
If you're alliance, have a horde friend fear you into the tank.

EDIT:That macro will also make you fall off the tram, which is very annoying so don't even bother trying.

You can get some more info about the Deeprun Tram here.

for the Horde: if you happen to die in the Deeprun Tram, you have to do a corpserun from Elwynn Forest (83.69).

Comment by Ghakor

From what I have heard you can no longer get into the water via shadow stepping the Diver, you will instead get an error that the target is not in line of sight.

Deeprun tram is in the dwarven district in stormwind, goes to tinker town in ironforge and back.

Comment by CrazedAssassin

Couldn't a Horde Rogue blind you and make you wander through the glass?

Comment by RedwoodElf

Do not question the physics of Gnomish Engineering...that way madness lies! Just like the back door to Gnomeregan is south of the entrance down below, but north of it up above.

Do you know if you can run though the tram run and how long it would take you?

Comment by 258919

The Deeprun Tram connects the Alliance cities of Ironforge and Stormwind.

In addition, it can be a useful way to get Horde players into Ironforge or Stormwind. If a Horde player is in the Deeprun Tram, they are NOT forced into PvP (unless they are on a PvP server)- though it is impossible for a Horde player to get there without being summoned or going through the city. So, a warlock and two friends could sneak into the Tram and walk down the tunnel (walk about two minutes down - the whole walk takes roughly 4-5 minutes) and find one of the multiple alcoves in the wall to set up a summoning portal. By doing this, you can summon players to the Tram without flagging them (unless, again, you are on a PvP server). In addition, the Deeprun Tram entrance in Stormwind is very close to the King. However, if a player riding the tram happens to see your raid group, they'll probably alert the city.

If you do summon to the tram, make sure you know which way each city is ;)

Is there anyway to get in there in patch 3.2?

Comment by 353694

SPOILER ALERT!

if you will study the route you will see that is in a straight line between sw and if.if you draw a straight line you will see that the train pass over the unused zone north of sw.with the announcment of the upcoming expansion cataclysm it was revealed that the zone north of sw will be part of the entrance to the deepholme.they show a map of the entrance.in the south-east part of the map you will see the Underground Lake.lucky or not the train route pass exactly over there so i think that the lake from the middle of the route is The Underground Lake.if you want to see the map of entrance here is the link:http://www.wowwiki.com/File:Deepholm.jpg

Comment by Jokulhaup

The design for the Deeprun Tram may be based on, and this is purely conjecture, Hector Horeau's proposition for an underwater Railroad across the English channel. He proposed that it would proceed downward at an angle until it used up its kinetic energy on a level surface, at which point another tram would drag it at an upward angle to the other side of the channel. This gives a sort of V-shape effect.
It's also just as likely that I'm seeing connections that really don't exist. =/

The travel time is 01:15.

Comment by feldaemon

I personally LOL whenever I see anyone pay for a port from stormwind from IF (or vice versa) instead of just taking the tram...

Comment by Fizzledark

I've watched a video about what the inside of the Deeprun Tram oceanarium looks like.
Now look, people.
Doesn't it remind you of Vashj'ir?
Divers.
Nagas.
Sharks.
Sea Monster (No Nessy in Vashj'ir but there are plenty others like Whale Sharks)
Sunken Ship(s) (SPOILER: Like the one you show up at when you come to Vashj'ir)
There's even Kelp'thar (the high green plant which just floats)

Comment by Darthdavo

The deeprun tram was made when Saurfang Charged from Stormwind to Ironforge.

Comment by seahen

Between the sparse number of players in Ironforge and the exit's position near the keep, the tram is Stormwind's biggest weak point.

Comment by Draenors

I'm not sure if this issue occur on only some servers, but since the Cataclysm, Deeprun Tram is being very tough to handle for my PCs graphics. I can personally run 10-man raids on "Good" graphics without problems and fly around in Stormwind with only minor difficulty, but as soon I enter the Deeprun Tram, my FPS goes down to the bottom, and it feels like I'm going a 25-man raid boss on Ultra-graphics. I have no idea why this is happening.

Comment by suffacate

This tram is great if you're doing For The Horde or need QUICK transportation from Ironforge to Stormwind or Stormwind to Ironforge.
The tram system is awesome... wish there was more trams in the game... like a tram station in each city going to every other major city (except for opposing faction's) would be amazing. The trams would get more popular then.

Comment by seahen

The trams would get more popular then.

Only with the opposing faction. Besides, we already have the boat between Stormwind and Darnassus, the Orgrimmar--Thunder Bluff and Orgrimmar--Undercity zeppelins, and the Orb of Translocation between Silvermoon City and Undercity.

Comment by Chicachu

I noticed the little screens with the blue and red lines wandering around them today, after many years of traveling from Stormwind to Ironforge. I would really like to see these screens reflect the actual location of the trams. No more wondering which one is coming first or how close it is to getting to you!

Comment by 977993

Contrary to what many of the posters below claim, the Deeprun Tram *always* ran between Ironforge and Stormwind. It was released in Beta Patch 0.10, and functioned the same then as it does now. (http://wow.joystiq.com/2011/04/12/wow-archivist-world-of-warcraft-beta-patch-0-10/)

Comment by ED209

Now, as of Landfall, the Deeprun Tram houses Bizmo's Brawlpub, the Alliance version of Brawler's Guild. It is accessible from the Stormwind side of the tram.

Comment by GabbyFae18

Located 66.4, 35.0, in the dwarven district in stormwind (the gear is the entrance)
Information jic anyone is looking for it for the selfie achievement :)

Comment by dimestorecandy

(as of patch 7.2.5) New to the Deeprun Tram are very excited level 20 Gnomes called either "Supporter" or "Coordinator." The few on the Stormwind side are gathered around a black and white checkered flag. There are many more on the Ironforge side including a table covered with Gnome-sized drinks. The "Great Gnomeregan Run" micro-holiday isn't until October and races from Gnomeregan to Booty Bay, so this is probably not some temporary bit of holiday hype.

Comment by lambd1

So why doesn't Trade Chat work in this zone? It connects two cities, and Trade Chat works in both. The only entrances and exits are to these Cities. Trade Chat will work for you whenever you enter, or leave, but once in the zone, you are logged out of Trade Chat for the duration of your ride. Would it be so terrible to allow Trade Chat here?

Comment by wildtiger

In case anyone is interested, here are the waypoints for the portal to the Deeprun Tram and also the point you change from the main the level of Deeprun Tram to the Bizmo's Brawlpub level.

/way Deeprun Tram 71.84 2.66 Bizmo's Brawlpub
/way Stormwind City 69.62 31.10 Deeprun Tram (portal)

Comment by wildtiger

The Deeprun Tram is marked as part of Stormwind City according to the map, regardless of which side you enter it from. It also only shows the station at the Stormwind City side on the map, so that if you are walking around in the Ironforge station, your arrow won't appear on the map.

Comment by Shanorn

Don't know if its 9.0.5 or not but Deeprun Tram is lagging like crazy right now. First time I tried entering it said server not found. Can't complete the Deeprun Rat Roundup quest bc of it.
