TRANSPORT
Getting to Cardinal Newman College
couldn’t be easier, as the College is
situated within five minutes’ walk
from Preston bus station and the
city centre, and is also within fifteen
minutes’ walk from the railway
station.
There are a variety of cycle routes
into the city and there is provision to
store your bicycle within the College
grounds. We also have free parking
available for students, but places
are limited and will be allocated on
a first come first served basis.
The College has service level
agreements for the provision of
transport for our students with all
the major transport providers in
the Lancashire Area: Stagecoach,
Preston Bus and Transdev
(Lancashire Bus). This allows us to
sell travel passes to our students
at a greatly reduced cost and gives
students the flexibility of travel
on commercial network services.
Passes are valid for the entire
academic year and can also be
used at evenings, weekends and
in the College half-term holidays.
