If you’re commuting by train you can jump on the Kinchbus Sprint service  from Loughborough Railway station, which will bring you straight to campus. During term-time it runs every ten minutes from various points across campus, so whether you’re on your way in or heading home after a long day, remove the stress from your journey and just hop on.

When you’re on campus enjoy free travel on the bus between 07:30 and 6:30, this service runs every 5 minutes during term time. Just jump on the bus while take you to where you need to be.

The University is committed to creating a green campus and promoting health and fitness amongst employees. In support of this we run a scheme to help employees with the cost of purchasing a bicycle and related equipment, where you can save up to 42% on the cost of a bicycle. So if you’re considering cycling to work, we could save you some serious money.

 

The Cycle2Work scheme is only available to employees who have completed six months service with the University. For more information on the scheme visit the Cycle2Work website
