How to Get to Bradford By Rail Bradford Interchange and Forster Square stations have extensive rail links and are located in the city centre. Both stations are within walking distance of the University and have taxi ranks. Information about trains to Bradford can be found at www.nationalrail.co.uk and http://www.wymetro.com/TrainTravel. By Bus Buses 610, 613 and 614 leave from Market Street (between the Interchange and Forster Square rail stations) at regular intervals during the day.

For more adventurous visitors, the Bradford Free City Bus leaves from both the Interchange and Forster Square stations and takes approximately 20 minutes to arrive at the University. Please note that the Free City Bus does not always run to its timetable and often fills up quickly, so visitors are not advised to rely on this service if they are running short of time.
