Travelling to College
In line with our unrelenting commitment to the protection of our environment, the College encourages students to use public transport, and works with local transport operators to give students more convenient access to services.
We endeavour to keep this page as up to date as possible but transport operators are within their rights to alter any of these services, you are therefore advised to check details about transport before making a purchase.
Travel subsidies
Students living in Surrey and aged 16-18 have previously been able to purchase an annual Student Fare Card. This offered reduced fares on train and /or bus travel for journeys to and from College. These Fare Cards will now expire on 31st August 2023 and will be replaced by the Surrey LINK card.
Students living in Surrey, aged 20 and under, can apply for a Surrey LINK card. This offers half price bus travel on single & return tickets for any bus journey that starts and/or finishes in Surrey. The LINK card is free. For more information or to apply, visit: www.surreycc.gov.uk/surreylink
