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‑effective and sustainable way to commute. We encourage colleagues to review the available ticket options, as flexible or pay‑as‑you‑go choices may better suit individual travel patterns.

Full details of routes and timetables can be found on our website:

From 8am on Monday 8 December to 6pm on Friday 19 December 2025, the A429 Kenilworth Road in Kenilworth will be closed to allow final surfacing works to the foot and cycleway and the completion of expansion joints. A fully signed diversion will be in place to assist drivers, and access for pedestrians and cyclists will be maintained throughout.
