Travel Information

Tutorial and Workshop location

Map of Britain showing LancasterThe tutorial and workshop will take place on the Lancaster University campus. Maps and travel details are available from the University's web site. In particular, train times between Lancaster and Manchester Airport can be found on the railtrack website. This service is run by First North Western and Virgin Trains. Timetables are also available from their websites. Train tickets are around £20 (return) depending on your time of travel. Once at Lancaster railway station we recommend you take a taxi (available from just outside the station) to the University. This taxi journey should take at most 10 minutes and cost about £5 depending on the time of day.

If you prefer, you can pre-book an airport taxi direct from Manchester Airport to the University. This will cost around £65 (return) and take at least an hour depending on traffic conditions. Taxis can be booked directly with one of the following companies:

Details are also available on-line about campus services and amenities. Away from the tutorial and workshop, there is plenty to see and do in the city of Lancaster and the surrounding area.
