A number of bus services run from the city centre to the University's campuses at University Park, Jubilee, Sutton Bonington and King's Meadow.

Buses to our campuses

Buses from Nottingham train station

For University Park campus, the bus stops closest to the train station are Broadmarsh bus station (for Trent Barton’s Indigo services) or Canal Street (for Nottingham City Transport’s 13 and 14 services).

For Jubilee campus, take any of the services listed above that start from the city. They depart from the northern side of the city centre, so you may want to use the free Centrelink bus to get around the city centre.

Buses from East Midlands Airport

There is a 24 hour Skylink bus service from East Midlands to Nottingham City Centre. The journey takes 45 minutes and buses are every 30 minutes until 11.30pm, then hourly until 4am when the half hourly service resumes.  The Trent Barton Indigo Loughborough service goes past the University Park Campus (on route to Nottingham Broadmarsh bus station) and goes to Sutton Bonington (on route to Loughborough).

Taxis

Avoid rogue and unlicensed taxi drivers - Nottingham City Council licenses two types of vehicles - Hackney Carriages and Private Hire vehicles. If you get into a Private Hire car without pre-booking it (that is - you stop it or find it in the street) you may not be covered by insurance. Private Hire drivers call this 'flying' and they know they are breaking the law. If you are involved in an accident you will experience difficulty in claiming for any damage or injuries. For more information, please visit our Community web pages.
