Transport 

If you are not able to live on campus or would prefer to go home every evening, there are different transport options available, from minibuses to coaches to public bus companies. 

Student transport is based on three zones and charging bands. Payment reserves a seat five days a week during the academic year.

Zone One, £575 which covers places such as Newent, Gloucester, Deerhurst and Highnam.

Zone Two, £680 which covers places such as Stroud, Dursley, Ledbury, Malvern, Cinderford and Tewkesbury.

Zone Three, £790 which covers places such as Thornbury, Worcester, Bourton-on-the-Water, Stow-on-the-Wold, Evesham and Cirencester.

Minibuses

Hartpury runs a number of minibuses every day that pick students up from across Gloucestershire and some of Herefordshire and Worcestershire and up into the Cotswolds. The routes can vary year on year due to student demand but Hartpury normally runs up to 18 minibus routes each year. Collection points are agreed during the first week of term.

Coaches

When we have enough demand, Hartpury runs coaches on some of the busiest routes. Recently this has included Cirencester, Stroud, Stonehouse and Quedgeley; Chepstow and the A48; Ross-on-Wye; and Hereford.
