Looking to Save on Travel? Explore Bus Options to Campus
With the recent increase in fuel costs, we wanted to remind colleagues of the range of bus services available for travelling to and from campus.
Local services provide frequent and reliable links between the University and surrounding areas, including Coventry, Kenilworth and Leamington Spa. Several operators, such as National Express Coventry and Stagecoach, run direct routes connecting key locations including the city centre, rail stations and nearby towns.
Some key highlights include:
- Direct connections to Coventry, Kenilworth and Leamington Spa
- Services stopping at the main University bus interchange
- A variety of ticket options, including contactless and mobile payment
- Discounted termly, monthly and annual passes
We understand that bus travel may not be suitable or accessible for everyone. However, for those able to use these services, it can offer a more cost鈥慹ffective and sustainable way to commute. We encourage colleagues to review the available ticket options, as flexible or pay鈥慳s鈥憏ou鈥慻o choices may better suit individual travel patterns.
Full details of routes and timetables can be found on our website:
Temporarily closure of the accessible bays by Engineering (Science Block F)
The accessible parking bays near Engineering (Science Block F) will be temporarily unavailable from 9th April to 20th April to allow essential roofing works to take place.
We recognise that these bays are important for many of our community. Unfortunately, due to the nature of the works and associated health and safety requirements, the bays will need to remain closed for the duration of this period. We will continue to work closely with the contractor and will look to reopen the bays earlier where it is safe and possible to do so.
Blue Badge holders are encouraged to use the service vehicle area adjacent to the existing accessible bays near Science Block A, where possible.
We understand this may cause inconvenience and appreciate your patience while these essential works are carried out.
If you require any additional support or would like to discuss alternative arrangements, please contact the Transport & Mobility teamLink opens in a new window.
