Travelling from the Train/Bus Stations to the University

We recommend a taxi rather than a bus. A taxi will cost approximately £7-£9 (cash only).

There are buses but this will entail a walk at either end with luggage – and remember, Sheffield is very hilly. For details, see:

Taxis from the train/bus stations in Sheffield

• There is a taxi rank (“station”) just outside the train station. It is much simpler to take a taxi from there than to book one by telephone. These taxis have meters.
• There is a smaller taxi rank at the bus station. If there is no taxi there, you can walk to the train station.
• Taxi drivers are not familiar with all University buildings. Make sure you have your University map with you. Taxis do not take credit cards (cash only).
• Most Sheffield taxi drivers are Muslim. The Muslim fasting month of Ramadan is 9th July – 7th August 2013. During this month it is almost impossible to get a taxi just before and for about an hour after sunset as drivers break their fast.

Tram from the train/bus station to central campus

• Trams run from behind the railway station
• Get off at the University stop for central campus (you will have to walk at least 200m from there).
