Travel

Southampton is located on the South Coast of England and is well-served by transport infrastructure.

By Rail
The nearest station to Highfield Campus is Southampton Airport-Parkway station, which is about ten minutes drive from the campus.

The station benefits from particularly good connections with London. Trains from London Waterloo leave approximately every 30 minutes, with a travelling time of 1 hour 10 minutes. There are also connections from Birmingham, Manchester and the South-West as well as intermediate stations on these lines.

From the station it is possible to take either a taxi or Unilink bus U1C to Highfield Campus.

Train timetables can be found here: http://ojp.nationalrail.co.uk/service/planjourney/search

Unilink bus timetables are here: http://www.unilinkbus.co.uk/service.shtml

By Air
Southampton International Airport is next to Southampton Airport Parkway railway station (see above) and therefore similarly near the campus, and served by the same bus route and taxis. The airport has flights to and from a range of UK and European destinations. More information can be found here: http://www.southamptonairport.com/

In addition, London Heathrow Airport is only about 1 hour's travel away, and as the UK’s largest airport has a multitude of national and international connections. There is a direct coach service from Heathrow Airport to the University of Southampton, Highfield Campus. More information can be found here: http://www.nationalexpress.com/home.aspx?utm_expid=46858713-48

Alternatively, there is a Railair connection from Heathrow Airport to Woking railway station, from which one can connect by train to Southampton. More information can be found here: http://www.nationalexpress.com/home.aspx?utm_expid=46858713-48
