Transport
Where possible, we would encourage multi-occupancy travel as much as possible (either public transport or taxi-sharing) to help reduce the environmental impact of the conference.

If you're not arriving directly from the airports, or by some other means (ferry, road), then the following might be useful:
By Car: The following postcode: CV4 7SH will direct you to Scarman Road. You’ll need to follow directional signage to Lakeside Village. You’ll then find signposts for Radcliffe, and Scarman, which are directly opposite to each other.
By Rail: Coventry is on the West Coast Mainline and is serviced by regular trains, 7 days a week.
- Birmingham New Street (20 minutes)
- Leicester (62 minutes)
- London Euston (59 minutes)

There’s a taxi rank at Coventry station, a single journey should cost between £10.00 to £15.00, however prices may vary.
By Bus: Local buses offer a frequent and convenient way of travelling to and from campus. There are regular bus services to the University campus from Coventry city centre and Coventry rail station, with the journey taking approximately 30 minutes.

Once here, we have a large range of options for getting out and about in the local (and not-so local) area.
If you want to get the bus, to Coventry, Kenilworth or Leamington Spa, try the following pages for services and timetables:
Taxis can be taken from the taxi rank at the bus interchange, or ordered from local firms or Uber from around campus.*
Rail services abound in this area of the country - details of all the local stations can be found here:
*Note: As our campus straddles county borders, taxis that travel from the interchange to Warwick/Kenilworth/Leamington Spa (across the county border) are not obliged to use their meter for the journey. You should ensure you agree a price for the trip before setting off. If you are travelling into Coventry, the taxis are legally obliged to charge you using the meter. Private hire and Uber cabs (booked online or over the phone) do not have this border issue.
