You can get driving directions to the Edinburgh Campus through Google Maps or by using the following website: http://www.hw.ac.uk/student-life/campus-life/edinburgh/getting-around.htm Parking will be available, free of charge, in lots A, B, and Q (marked on map above with purple stars ) Bus: Lothian Buses offers local bus services 25, X25, 34, 45 and N25/N34 (night bus) to the Edinburgh Campus. The journey takes about 30–40 minutes from the city centre, depending on what time of day you’re travel- ling. All national coach services to Edinburgh arrive at St Andrew Square bus station, at the east end of Princes Street. Timetables can be found on the Citylink and National Express websites. Rail: The mainline rail network serves the centre of Edinburgh well. Edinburgh Waverley is at the east end of Princes Street and Haymarket Station is at the west end. Curriehill Station, one mile from the University, offers a frequent service to Edinburgh Waverley and a service to Glasgow Central Station. We do not recommend alighting at either Edinburgh Park or Curriehill as there is no direct transport link to the campus from these stations. Proceed to Haymarket and catch a number 25 bus (Lothian buses) from Dalry Road (terminating at Riccarton). Rail timetables can be found on the National Rail website. Air: Edinburgh International Airport is served by scheduled national and international flights. The airport is on the west side of the city, just three miles from the Edinburgh Campus. The bus journey from the airport takes about an hour. The Airlink bus takes you to the city centre (£7 re- turn), then you can take a Lothian Buses service 25, X25, 34, 45 or N25 (night bus) from the city centre to the campus.
