salary sacrifice.

Bus and Tram Travel
• All three campuses are well served by public transport
– Brackenhurst: the 100 service stops right outside the campus.
– Clifton: The Go2Uni 4 runs between city and Clifton campuses from every 7
minutes during term time via Nottingham Railway Station and Trent Bridge.
Other services stopping outside the campus include the 1 to Loughborough.
– City: the campus is less than five minutes walk from buses to all parts of the
city and beyond.
• The tram is another great way of getting to work
– Park and Ride services are available at Phoenix Park (near J26 of M1), Hucknall,
Wilkinson Street and the Forest with trams running every few minutes. See the
NET website for more details.
– Nottingham’s tram network is expanding with Phase Two due to be complete in
2015. For further information visit NET’s dedicated Phase Two website.
