Information on accessibility and emergency procedures 

Travelling by Rail

Regular Intercity services operate between Loughborough and other main line towns (Leicester, Derby, Nottingham, Sheffield) - including daily trains to and from London St Pancras International, only 90 minutes away. This journey planner will help you with your plans. Once at Loughborough's railway station you are just ten minutes away from the campus. From here there is a regular bus service (Sprint) which runs from the station through the town centre to the campus every ten minutes during term time. You should get off at either the library (building 18 on the campus map) or Mechanical Engineering (building 12 on the campus map).

Travelling by Coach or Bus

Coach and bus services to and from other parts of Leicestershire and the UK operate from the centre of Loughborough. If you are travelling by National Express or regional bus services to Loughborough centre, you should then connect with the local Kinch bus service (Sprint) to the Loughborough University Campus. For enquiries about all these services call Traveline on 0871 200 22 33.
