Getting Around

Keele is in a great location – midway between Birmingham and Manchester, and a short bus ride from the local town of Newcastle-under-Lyme and the city of Stoke-on-Trent.

The number 25 bus service runs on a regular basis via the Keele campus, taking you to:

• Stoke-on-Trent Train Station
• Crewe Train Station
• Newcastle-under-Lyme town centre
• Stoke-on-Trent city centre
• Royal Stoke University Hospital

You will find bus stops throughout the university campus, including outside the Students’ Union.

Want to explore further afield at the weekend? Both Stoke-on-Trent and Crewe train stations offer direct services to many UK cities including Manchester, Birmingham, Liverpool and London. If you’re aged 16-25, you can buy a 16-25 Railcard to get 1/3 off eligible journeys for a whole year.

If you’d sooner save on tickets and get some exercise, Keele is well-connected to the local area via cycle path. Many students and staff choose to cycle to campus, and there are plenty of on-campus bike storage facilities.
