Free travel

We’re committed to doing all we can to reduce the environmental impact of traffic travelling to our events, and promote the use of public transport wherever possible. We have great partnerships that offer free travel to our next campus Open Day.

We've partnered with Greater Anglia to provide you with free travel to and from our campuses in Cambridge, Chelmsford and Peterborough.

Please note: this offer only applies to journeys between stations on the Greater Anglia network. If your station is not listed, please call 0345 600 7245 (option 3) and they will be able to add the station to the list.

Greater Anglia train tickets are sent by post. Make sure you book your tickets at least five days before the event to ensure time for delivery. If there are engineering works you may need to catch a rail replacement bus. Your free train ticket covers this bus travel.
