Travelling to the University of Surrey from London options

Hi all!

I am trying to find a budget option to travel from Clapham Junction or Waterloo to Guildford.
Does anyone happen to know student chats, where I can find people in the same situation, so that we can share fuel costs? Or anything of that kind?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Anon#1
Are you planning on driving to Clapham Junction/Waterloo? We have direct trains going from Guildford to Waterloo, taking just 35 minutes.

If you plan to travel regularly, it's worth exploring railcard options. These can offer 1/3 off all your fares. I would also take advantage of off-peak and super off-peak fares as well. Some banks even provide railcards for free to students!

It's worth asking around if anyone is in a similar situation. Unfortunately, we don't have an official group chat or channel for this purpose. You can look at Liftshare, a network that links drivers/passengers so they can share their journeys. Find more information on the university website here.

You may also wish to contact our student finance team for any support or advice regarding your travel needs.

Hope that helps. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

All the best
