Travel and Transport

Bradford is conveniently situated in the centre of the UK. It has excellent communications, and is easily reached by road, rail or air.

Once you have arrived in Bradford getting out and about is easy, whether you have your own transport or not.

There are direct regular air services into Leeds/Bradford International Airport, 7 miles (11 km) from the University; Bradford is connected to the national motorway network via the M62 and the M606; an extensive coach service connects most parts of the country to Bradford's Travel Interchange; Bradford Interchange and Forster Square stations have extensive rail links (though many involve changing at Leeds); and both train stations are around 15 minutes away from main campus on foot. Frizinghall train station is also close to the School of Management.

Getting to the School of Management from main campus

For around 7 years the University and First Bradford have been running an hourly bus service, number A99, between the main campus and the School of Management. The service operates Monday to Friday throughout the academic year.

The Student Safety Bus - the UBUS

The Students' Union provides a free bus service every weekday in term time. It's yours, so make sure you use it!

Pick-up points are outside the Richmond Building Main Entrance, the School of Management and the Appleton Science Building - a timetable is here and available from the Students' Union Reception.

The Students' Union is committed to the safety of their students. One of the ways in which we try to ensure you will get safely home is by providing this free bus service, funded by UBU with a contribution from Bradford College. Two full-time drivers and a team of chaperones help to run the bus.
