With evenings getting darker, adverse weather on the horizon, and temporary road closures, knowing the best way to travel can be tricky. Whatever the situation, the Transport Team’s Planning your Journey page has been developed to help plan your commute.

Travel Advisors update the page regularly with new apps, webpages, and social media links that give up to date information on road, rail, bus, and bicycle travel.

Now that winter is looming, we are updating the Transport web pages with the latest adverse weather information, and we will also endeavor to update you on our twitter page if there are any travel disruptions on or around our campuses.

Remember that weather can change at any time. Be prepared for this before you start your journey, no matter the mode of transport.

Driving
Ensure that you and your vehicle are prepared for driving in adverse weather conditions. Read some top tips to prepare for driving during the winter and don’t forget to plan your journey before you leave so you are aware of any disruptions.

Public transport, cycling and walking

• Plan your journey, check if there are problems on public transport or local roads
• Delay your journey, if possible, to allow temperatures to rise and ice or snow to melt
• Avoid footways in the shade. It takes longer for ice or snow to melt in the shade
• Always wear appropriate footwear and reflective/bright clothing
• Ensure that you have a torch or lights so motorists and others can see you when walking or cycling. Think Be Bright Be Seen.
