Excited for Welcome Week and planning your journeys for induction? Parking will be extremely limited throughout September-November, so make sure to avoid unnecessary stress and disappointment by taking alternative transport where possible! Below is some useful information to help you with this:
Chester is home to one of the busiest stations in the North West, with convenient links to North Wales, Merseyside, Warrington and even further afield!
- Many of our students may also be eligible for a railcard, so make sure you don’t miss out on reduced prices!
Whether you’re based within Chester, the Wirral, Liverpool, Wrexham or Warrington, there are convenient bus routes that pass by our different sites throughout the day. Most bus providers are also currently capping each journey at just £2 until December 2024!
Students can also access the itravel service – an on-demand rural bus which allows a resident, or group of residents to request a bus for a specific journey.
Hop on Chester’s regular Park & Ride service from either Chester Zoo, Broughton Heath Park or Wrexham Road Park. Offering affordable day tickets for solo travellers (£2.50), or the chance for groups of up to 5 to travel together at a reasonable price (£5) – there are a range of tickets our students can access.
Experienced at cycling but Chester’s a new area to you? Keen to start cycling but not sure where to start? Chester’s a cycle-friendly city with lots of support for those who would like to give it a go!
Bren Bikes are also a fantastic organisation who offer affordable bikes for our students.
