How to get to the Hull Campus from elsewhere

For those people not travelling by car and choosing to travel by train there is a taxi rank at the railway station that will bring you to the University, or to a hall of residence. Alternatively the following buses stop outside of the University - 103, 104, 105 and 16A. Due to exciting work being carried out to create a new transport interchange and shopping complex the bus station has temporarily moved to Albion St, staff at the station will be able to give you directions.
