Different ways to travel
Brake, the road safety charity across Britain, reports that 67% of commuting trips are made by car and 46% of all trips are less than two miles. 2% of commuting trips are bicycle journeys and 9% made by public transport.
The major environmental consequences of so many journeys being made by car include carbon emissions, air quality and noise pollution. 21% of UK greenhouse gas emissions come from transport.
The Department for Transport predicts that the proportion of traffic travelling in very congested conditions will more than double by 2035, further increasing emissions.
The following information details the transport options available to everyone who studies and/or works at the University.
For information on travelling to and from the university click here.
Public transport
Public transport use can sometimes take longer than cycling or walking but is a much better option than driving. If you can, try and walk or cycle into university.
Staff and students can travel to the University campus via bus, train, and Metro (University stop).
Traveline is a site providing local public transport information and timetables. A specific route planner is available where you can work out how to get from A to B using public transport.
Fact: CO2 emissions per train/bus passenger are on average 6-8 times lower than car travel.
