The number 3 and 4 buses are wheelchair-accessible and leave from
the bus station every 15 minutes throughout the day, which is a 15 minute walk

Come out of the train station and turn left onto Meeting House Lane. At the
cross roads with Waterstones book shop, cross over the main road (part of the
one-way system) so that you are on the opposite side of the road to the book
shop. Turn right so that you are travelling in the opposite direction to the
road traffic. At the next road junction turn left into Common Garden Street
and you will find the bus stops for the University on the left hand side as
shown on this map
of Lancaster town centre.
On arrival at the university, get off at the "Pendle College" bus
