Students
Public Transport
Both our campuses and halls of residences are well connected by public transport.
The main City Campus buildings are between 2 and 14 mins walk from Leeds train station. Headingley campus is a 15 minute walk from Headingley train station and Headingley Carnegie Pavilion and Stand are a 12 and 8 minute walk from Headingley and Burley Park stations.
Both campuses have frequent bus services, including:
- The Leeds City Bus Service 5 that links the bus and rail stations to our main City Campus (£1/journey).
- The Leedscity bus service 1B runs between Beeston, City Centre, City campus and Headingley Campus.
Route maps are available on First Buses web site. It's £1.20 for a single fare on production of a valid student card. You can see further information about bus frequency and prices here.
Leeds City Bus Service 5 provides a frequent service to Leeds Beckett City Campus from the rail and bus stations. Each journey costs £1 (or free if you have an MCard, Metrocard, MetroDay, Park and Ride ticket, Concessionary Pass or any West Yorkshire bus operator day or season ticket). All services are operated by fully accessible buses.
First Leeds offer tickets for students, as well as providing a bus service 1B to and from Headingley Campus.
