Newcastle University is committed to reducing its carbon footprint.

One of the most significant actions we can take is by considering the way which we travel and limiting the number of flights we take.
Travel better, travel slow! With more comfort, countryside views, stops in the city centre, and even the chance to meet new friends on the way, bus and train travel offers a way to see and experience more. Make your journey part of your trip!
