What is park and stride?
Park and stride is a travel option that lets you park for free at Angerland Park and Ride and then walk or cycle to campus, ideal at times when the University shuttle bus is less frequent.
How to park and stride?
You can park for free at the Angerlane Park and Ride car park (AL10 8HS).
Opening times:
- Monday–Friday 07:00–22:00
- Closed on weekends, Bank Holidays and University closure days
ℹ️ The shuttle bus may still run even when the car park is closed. Check the Shuttle bus timetable.
Your walking options:
- College Lane Campus: 10 to 15 minutes (0.8 miles / about 1,400 steps).
- de Havilland Campus: 25 to 30 minutes (1.2 km).
If you prefer not to walk the full distance to the de Havilland campus, you can take a Uno shuttle bus from the Forum Bus Exchange, College Lane. Show your university ID card.
Why park and stride?
- Feel better: A short walk each day can boost your mood and help you stay active.
- Cut campus traffic: Fewer cars mean safer, smoother journeys for everyone.
- Stay flexible: Walk when you can, take the bus when you need to.
