National Travel

Train Station

There are two ways of travelling nationally: by coach or rail.

Coach

Travel by coach is probably the cheaper form of national transport. A National Coach Service operates from the Transport Interchange, Pond Street to all the major cities in the UK. There is an enquiry and booking office there.

Rail

  1. STA Travel can provide a Young Persons Railcard or ISIC Student Travel Card for discounted travel on British Rail but do not sell train tickets.
  2. Train services run from Sheffield Midland Station to all the major towns and cities in the UK.
  3. There are a number of other ‘saver’ tickets. In all cases, where you are travelling on a student fare, ensure that you keep your Student Card with you and always check (before you board the train) where cheaper fares are involved, since there are many restrictions on the times or trains on which you can travel.
