Warwick university is very far from Warwick and hence Warwick station. It is actually in Coventry, and taxi from Coventry train station would be about £7-8, taxi from Coventry Pool Meadow coach/bus station about £8-10.

It'll cost £30-50 then. The train will probably stop at coventry or leamington spa anyway. Get off there and it'll be substantially less.

There's regular buses from both Coventry and Leamington. It's nowhere near Warwick. Taxi from Leamington station will be about £15-20 (never done it in the daytime!) or about a tenner from Cov.

if you're coming down from bolton i'm pretty certain the train will go via coventry (done the run myself as I had an assessment centre up there back in june).

So just get off the train in cov. Pay £10 tops then, quicker than going to warwick too.

lmao... theyve all scared you!

I doubt it'll be much more than a tenner. And if you thin it's going to be, tell the driver you want him to speed up lol.

I remember a taxi back to uni from Keniliworth being about £30, now Warwick is alot further away than that, so no, it really will be expensive. A taxi from Coventry to uni should be under £10.

taxi- £20-30.

Bus- couple of £ tops.

Or just take a train from cov train station for £3 or so.

The bus is cheap as chips, and the bus drivers are pretty lenient. Many times when i was caught short of change i would just look at the driver with a 'Im a poor destitute student' face and they let you on for free :smile:

They hardly ever check for tickets.

Fraudulant use of the bus service aside, although there is a 'time table' of sorts its complete dogs nads. its more a case of get there, and wait for one to arrive. On cold sundays, that can be a very very long time.
