- Night Bus- 07854 838890- Click here for running times and pick up points
DSU’s Nightbus runs every night of term, providing a safe and secure way for students to get home in the evening.
The Nightbus is a demand-responsive service, which means that there isn’t a fixed timetable. Instead, you book the service like a taxi, arranging a convenient time and pick-up point with the driver. Priority is always given to lone travellers, so please mention this when booking. Space is limited so at busy periods you may have to wait for the service, or the driver may decline to carry a large group of students.
To make a booking, you should call the driver on 07854 838890. The number is only available when the service is in operation- please see the pick-up points and the running times below.
There is a fee of £1 for using the Nightbus service. This helps to contribute towards the significant costs of operating the service. Please click here for full terms and conditions of using the night bus.
