The bus station is situated on Damside Street. Buses (numbers X1, 2, 2A, 3 and 4) leave regularly (every 5 minutes on weekdays) for the 20 minute journey to the University. Buses also leave the city centre at Common Garden Street for the University. For bus information call ‘Traveline’ on 0871 200 22 33. All buses drop off at the University underpass, beneath Alexandra Square in the centre of campus. Buses 3 and 4 also provide a 10 minute service around the southern perimeter road and campus residences at Alexandra Park.
By Car
Leave the M6 motorway at junction 33 and take the A6 north towards Lancaster.
For Lancaster University main campus – turn right at the third set of traffic lights on the A6 into the University main drive. Take the first exit left from the roundabout at the top of the main drive, then the first avenue on your right. This brings you to the Reception Lodge where security staff will direct you to your destination on campus.
For Alexandra Park (south end of campus) - turn right at the second set of traffic lights on the A6 into Hazelrigg Lane and turn left at the roundabout into Alexandra Park Drive.
By Air From Manchester International Airport take the M56 motorway at junction 5 and join the M6 motorway at junction 20 (north). Follow the directions ‘By Car’. An hourly rail link runs between the airport and Lancaster.
Car Parking Visitors must use the designated visitor parking areas and pay and display at one of the machines. Scratchcards may also be used in pay and display areas and allow a whole day of parking. These are available from Security. Note that visitor parking charges apply Monday to Friday 08:00 – 18:00.
Note on car parking As spaces are limited, we regret that students resident on campus or close to a city centre bus route are not usually entitled to a car parking permit on campus. Usually, student car parking permits are for Alexandra Park only and a full policy is in place to ensure that students who require a permit the most are entitled to purchase one.
