There is a frequent, fast train service to York on the main East Coast Line from London King’s Cross to Edinburgh. There is also a direct service between York, Leeds and Manchester Airport.
There are buses from the city centre and railway station approximately every 5-10 minutes during the day, and it takes around 20 minutes to reach the campus.
The UoY66 service (run by First Bus) goes from the railway station to the university via the city centre. To find the bus stop, exit the railway station through the main entrance and immediately turn right. Go past the taxi entrance and cross the zebra crossing. Turn left on the other side of the road. The UoY66 bus leaves from stop RJ, which is the stop closest to the zebra crossing. A single to campus is £1.50, a day ticket is £3.
A route map is available here. UoY66 is the dark pink route.
A taxi from the railway station to the University will take approximately 15 minutes. There is a taxi rank just outside the station. It can often be just as quick, and significantly cheaper, to take a bus.
