Bus stops
The bus station is the nearest bus stop for Arts & Media Campus students.
If you are at the Milnthorpe Road Campus, there are bus stops along Milnthorpe Road. The bus stop is outside the college entrance if you are travelling north to return home. If you are travelling south to return home (e.g. you live in Milnthorpe), you can catch the bus from:
- Near K-Village – go out of college and turn left down Milnthorpe Road. The bus stop is just after the Chinese near the river. There is space to wait and a bench.
- After the traffic lights – go out of college and turn right down Milnthorpe Road. The bus stop is directly outside a residential property and space to wait is limited. If using this stop, please be respectful to the local community and don’t stand in private driveways or lean on walls. Please also allow space for pedestrians to pass.
Please make a clear signal to the driver that you want to board a bus, e.g. an outstretched arm. Otherwise, the driver may think you are waiting for another service and go past you.
