Travelling To Chippenham
Travel Information
Our campuses are served by the local public transport network and many students get to college by bus or train. This page will give you general information about travelling to our campuses; each campus also has a dedicated page with specific information about bus and other transport routes.
Travelling By Bus
If you are aged 16-19 (under 19), live in Wiltshire and Chippenham is your nearest Wiltshire College & University Centre campus, you may be eligible for a Wiltshire Council bus pass. If your household income is less than £20,819.00, the price for the 2024-25 bus pass is £315.00.

If you do not qualify for the lower rate bus pass, the full price of £950.00 is unlikely to be the most cost-effective option for your travel. Many of the bus companies offer discounted tickets for students or regular journeys. Please check prices with the transport provider.
