Student Experience
Looking for the best way to get to college?
Start by checking public transport options first — they’re often more flexible, cost-effective and better suited to your schedule. College-run transport is available if there’s no suitable public route near where you live.
Multiple public transport options are available to students, often offering cheaper prices and greater flexibility. Services run daily; students can pay by the day or week in much smaller instalments. Many public service operators also offer “Rover” type passes that can be used on different bus routes, which could be very convenient for students studying courses that include industry placements, such as T-Levels.
301 302 – Bourne > Spalding > The Deepings > Stamford
201 202 – Bourne > Stamford > Peterborough
Students can enjoy a simple, straightforward walk from Stamford’s Central Bus Station to Stamford College.
The walking route takes approximately 15–20 minutes, and passes through the scenic “Stamford Park” before arriving at the college gates.
Under 25s can apply for a ‘tiger’ pass offering £1 bus routes in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough.
This could reduce your costs to college.
If you are planning to travel to college by train, Stamford train station is within walking distance of the college campus.
Our college buses drop off and pick up right outside the College entrance so you will only need to make your own way to and from your local pick up point!
The college offers multiple bus services to bring students into college. The timetable for the services can be found in our handy Transport Guide. Please note that all routes, stops and times are subject to change for the upcoming academic year.
All buses leave the college at 4:40pm – students must arrive 10 minutes before the buses are due to depart or collect from their stop in the morning.
