University of Warwick Go Society

Directions

Gibbet Hill Road is undergoing major gas works. These works would appear to have ceased for now with no indication as to when they will return - at least, the university tells me to check their web page about the works, which has no further information.

Gibbet Hill Road is the primary access for campus, so if they start again it will almost certainly affect travel to the tournament. Every part of the road leading from the A45 has now been completed, so this route will definately be available - however, it is at least possible that the route from the A46 will be affected. Please be prepared to take a diversion.

Here we have a number of photographic directions to help you arrive (not all finished yet - if you get an error, that's why).

The University also has a page of maps. We're on Library Road, and recommended parking is in Car Park 8 and Car Park 10. There's also a map of all car parks.

Non-driving Routes

Trains

Canley Station is the closest train station, but is unfortunately not on any fast lines, nor is it particularly close to campus. One can walk there in about 20 minutes at a brisk pace (directions and photos will be made available closer to the time), or busses are available from there to Cannon Park (see below for busses).

Most people will want to arrive at the larger Coventry Station and take the bus to main campus (see below).

Busses

The Arts Centre bus stop is normally marked on timetables as "WARWICK UNIVERSITY" or similar; there are a few more on campus (in particular the Sports Centre) which busses reach first and are closer, but are rarely marked. The University is on routes from both Travel West Midlands and Stagecoach. All services marked as serving Coventry will stop at Coventry train station on Warwick Road. Leamington services normally stop not far from Leamington Train Station (but please check!).

Travel West Midlands operate the number 12 (serving Leamington, Kenilworth and Coventry) and number 16 (serving Stratford, Kenilworth and Coventry) services to campus.

Stagecoach operate the unibus (serving Leamington and sometimes Kenilworth) and number 16 (serving Stratford, Kenilworth and Coventry) services to campus.

Travel West Midlands also operate a number of services to Cannon Park (which is a short walk from campus). These are the number 19 (which stops at Canley Train Station and maybe Tile Hill Train Station), number 540 (from Kenilworth) number 81E (again maybe Tile Hill Train Station), number 42 (Coventry Train Station), and number 43 (which is pretty much local only).

Finally, there is a National Express stop on campus ("Warwick, University") and Megabus services stop at Cannon Park ("Coventry").

Walking from Car Park 10

On this map, you can see a dotted footpath connecting Car Park 10a to Library Road (go between 27 and 47). Once you hit Library Road, cross over it, turn left, walk down it, up onto the bridge and back over it again. Go into the building, through two sets of doors and you're on the Science Concourse.

Walking from Car Park 8

Out of the car park, turn right onto University Road, left onto Library Road, cross the road using the bridge and continue as above.
