Travel
The University’s official Visit Us page provides some general guidance. Here are some further remarks how to get there:
- If you are arriving at Newcastle International, take the tram (there’s only one) to Newastle Central (less than 40 minute) and then take a train to the South. Durham is 15 minutes away from Newcastle Central
- Alternatively, you can take a taxi from the airport (should be around 60 GBP for a drive of around 40 minutes in total).
- From Durham train station, it is a 30-40 minute walk.
- Taxis should be available from the station and should be around 10-15 GBP.
- Right in front of the station, there’s a bus stop with two lines
- Bus 42 to Mount Oswald. It runs every 30 minutes. Get off at “South Road Colleges” and walk up the hill from there (5 minutes).
- Bus 41 to University Science Park. Hop off at the final stop.
Accommodation
There is no financial or logistics support for accommodation and travel, but we can point to a few hotels nearby that guests of the department use frequently. Participants will need to make all booking:
- Hotel Indigo
- Premier Inn
- Marriott
- Travelodge
The University has their own Events team . They also provide B&B accommodation. However, as we approach the new term, it is not likely that they have “spare” rooms.
As it is graduation week in Durham, hotel spaces may be in short supply. However Newcastle is only 11 minutes away from Durham by train, with regular and frequent services, and plenty of city centre hotels.
