Free and discounted travel

You can often get free or discounted travel from our travel partner Greater Anglia. We'll publish details here before Open Days take place.

If you're planning to travel to campus by train, please check your journey for disruptions ahead of time. Any disruptions should be listed on the Greater Anglia website.

We've partnered with Greater Anglia to provide you with free train travel to our undergraduate Open Days. You can claim a free ticket when accompanied by a fare-paying person.

Free travel is available for Open Days at ARU in Cambridge, Chelmsford, Peterborough and Writtle. (If you're visiting us in Writtle, Chelmsford is the nearest train station and is about two miles away. Get directions to Writtle.)

To redeem the offer, you'll need to book your tickets by five working days before the event: by 1pm on the Monday before the event on Saturday. Greater Anglia will then send train tickets to you by post.

If there are engineering works you may need to catch a rail replacement bus. Your free train ticket covers this bus travel.

Please note that:

  • this offer is available to those currently residing in the East Anglia counties
  • it applies to tickets from a Greater Anglia managed station, to the nearest Great Anglia station to the ARU campus you’re visiting
  • your free ticket is valid on Greater Anglia services only; it could be subject to a penalty fare if used on other train operators’ services
  • see the Greater Anglia website for full terms.
