By Car
The University of York is easily accessible by car from the A64 section of the outer ring road, via the A1079 or the A19. The city is at the junction of the A19, A59, A64 and A1079 trunk roads. The University is well signposted from the Outer Ring Road, which comprises the A64 and A1237. Our new building is located on the new Heslington East campus.
Access to the Heslington East campus is via the Grimston Bar Park and Ride. This will bring you past the Sports Village on to the new campus.
Car drivers are advised to avoid the city centre, as most of the roads within the city walls are pedestrianised during daylight hours every day (normally 10am-4.30pm).
Parking on Heslington East is very limited. Visitors can park in the pay and display car park at the top of the campus, and disabled parking bays are available on Deramore Lane
By Air
The nearest international airports are Leeds-Bradford airport and Manchester airport. There is a direct rail link between York and Manchester airport. See By Bus or By Taxi below.
By Train
York has excellent rail connections. The city is on the East Coast Main Line which joins London (about 2 hours travel) and Edinburgh. The National Rail Enquiry Service provides a comprehensive on-line timetable service for the UK. See By Bus or By Taxi below.
By Bus
The preferred transport provider for the University of York is Transdev who operate the Unibus number 44 service between the University (including Heslington East and West campuses) and York railway station. In term time these operate every 10 minutes, and approximately every 15 minutes out of term time. Use the Transdev website for student, staff and visitor discounted tickets. The Unibus 44 service runs along Lakeside Way, and there is a stop between Theatre, Film and Television and Computer Science. You can find timetables on the Unibus website.
A frequent (every 8 minutes during the day) bus service (number 4) operates between York railway station and the University, and stops at the car park of the Heslington East campus (marked on the map above). There is a shuttle bus approximately every 10min between Heslington West and Heslington East campus. By bus or bike the journey takes about 15 minutes from the city centre of York.
