A guide to travelling across campus
Posted on Thursday 2 October 2025
We're always looking for ways to support active and sustainable travel across our campuses, from nearby communities, and to and from the city.
To help you skip the bus queues and move around more easily, we’ve created an Inter-Campus Travel Guide - perfect for walking and cycling routes.
Why not take a look?
- Walking or cycling could save you time in the long run
- You’ll avoid queuing for the bus
- You’ll be leaving spaces available for those who most need to use the campus buses
- Keeping physically active is great for your physical and mental wellbeing
- You’ll be reducing your carbon footprint
