Train travellers are advised to take a taxi from the station, or one of the frequent buses (see below) to the Cambridge West site. When you exit the station, turn left and the bus stop is 100m ahead.

By bus

Take the Universal (U) bus services (see U1 and U2 timetables and routes) in the direction of ‘Eddington', and alight at the 'William Gates Building' stop. Walk down the side street to your left, and the Civil Engineering Building is to the right of Roger Needham Building straight ahead of you. Single journeys cost £2.20 (£1 for University Card holders), or you can buy a £3 'Day Rover Ticket' allowing all-day travel on Whippet-operated services.
