Travelling To College

By Bus

Bus routes to Knightstone and University Campus

In order for you to be able to easily access either our Knightstone Campus or our University Campus, we have been working very closely with First Bus. This will help to ensure we have a comprehensive bus service covering both campuses.

This enables the majority of our full-time students to travel easily to either of our campuses from across the region on a First Bus. This may be a dedicated bus service or by using the normal bus route depending on where you live. There are frequent buses from within the Weston area, as well as direct buses from Bath, Bristol, Clevedon, Nailsea, Portishead, Burnham-on-Sea, Wells, Bridgwater and the surrounding areas. This gives you the flexibility to come and go to suit your study needs.

First Bus operates a wide range of network services throughout North Somerset, Somerset, Gloucester, Wiltshire and within the Bristol area. Bus times and other service information can be obtained from Travel Line on 0870 6082608 or at www.traveline.org.uk In addition to this, extra services will operate across the town from Worle directly to the University Campus.

Both the Knightstone and University Campuses are easily accessible by road, being just 10 minutes drive from the M5, junction 21. The A371 and A370 main A roads go into Weston and connect up with the A38 to make the College accessible from all sides of Weston-super-Mare and the surrounding areas.

We are keen to promote students using their bikes to get to College. There are many benefits to commuting by bike, including:

• Saving money on petrol
• Keeping fit, healthy and in shape
• No queuing
• Reducing carbon emissions, which is good for the environment

We have plenty of cycle racks, so please feel free to use them.
