I'm also commuting next week. I'm catching the bus and my journey's an 1 hour and 30 minutes :'( Some looooooooong week for me net week . Yeah I agree with KatieO, try driving with some people that you know, I don't think it will be nice to catch a bus at night.

Yay someone else commuting! Where you commuting from? I am driving! No deffo don't catch a bus late at night, not safe these days (sound like my Mum saying that but so true)!

What you studying?

Hi again ******** !

You no doubt remember our earlier communications regarding your commute from Luton;

Glad you have pretty well got sorted, if you can find somebody to share a lift with and pool the costs that`s good, but if you are still thinking of the bus then as said, the UNO 636 is your best bet, giving a direct service from Luton to the Hatfield Campuses & return. Don`t forget a few of these services start and finish at Leagave.

The 19.15 & 21.15 from the H of U Forum, 19.22 & 21.22 from de Hav, are numbered 101 & become a express service after calling at the T- Mobile stop arriving Luton Church St. 20.30 & 22.30.

The Zone 1 & 2 student pass is still £400 (I contacted UNO today to confirm this) which isn`t bad value for money working out at £1.09p/day if taken over the whole year, or £2-odd /day if only used for say, six months. It gives you unlimited travel on UNO buses within the two zones, with the exception of the 700 between Baldock & Stanstead Airport & the 712/714 UNO service to London Victoria.

Hope his helps. Can I also alert students to my other threads regarding buses/ trains on this site, in particular those about the 607 Hatfield Circular service, the later evening services of which we came very close to losing. And don`t forget the Sunday evening service which was taken off the road for six months and re -instated following a combined protest from residents and students alike, will only stay if sufficiently used as, unlike the remainder of the service which is Council/Estate developer funded, since Sept last year it is run commercially by UNO.

You only have to look what has happened to services such as the 634, which has been reduced from something like twelve buses to three/daily within the last year to see this.

Hi again!

Thanks for your help. If I wanted to get the annual pass would I have to pay the £400 to the UNO bus driver or is there some document which I need to fill out and send it to UNO?

The bus driver won't take £400 from you. You need to fill in this http://www.unobus.info/pdfs/application_form.pdf and take it to the student centre (Yellow building at the front of College Lane campus).

Honestly I get so happy when I find out that someone else is also commuting haha. I'm commuting from Luton. Yeah exactly, these days its REALLY not a good idea to catch buses late at night, there are some weird people around! I'm studying Law by the way. What about yourself?

Yay! Commuters ftw haha! I'm Katie Oxberry btw, add me on Facebook if you have it. I'm from Slough, so shouldn't be too hard to find
I am studying education studies with early years!
Law sounds interesting!
Hopefully talk to you on Facebook )

I'm from Slough too and i'm commuting lol. But i've decided to go by train until I get a bit more driving experience.

Omg haha this is awesome!!!! Someone from Slough, hello! Ah okay, well if you ever fancy a lift, gimme a shout can add me on Facebook if you like? Talk on there? What you studying?

Haha i was surprised to find someone local! Everyone seems to be from London. I'm studying economics there and hoping i can manage the commute. I haven't got an FB right now but might set one up once uni gets started cos i'll probably need it.
