Accessing our campus bus

A perk of your campus card, is free travel.

Using the Connect 700 service, or the University minibus operated by Team Sunderland, you will be able to use your campus card to access free travel between campuses and around the city of Sunderland.

Connect service

Our Campus Bus, the Connect service is operated by Go North East. Although members of the public can use the service to get around the City, students can hop on for free. Simply show your campus card when you get on. 

The Connect bus service operates between our two campuses, with stops along the way which are close to our Halls of Residences and key areas within the city, such as Park Lane Interchange & Stadium of Light.

You can find out information about all the stops and timetables on the Go North East website 

University minibus

Alongside the Connect Service, the University also operate a minibus shuttle service managed by Team Sunderland.

The circular route operates during Term Time, Monday-Friday between 8:00am-22:30pm and stops at The Forge, City Campus Travel Hub, Panns Bank/Scotia Quay, St Peter’s Campus and Murray Library.

The minibus is available to the University of Sunderland students and staff only. The driver may ask to see your Campus ID Card – this is for your and the driver’s safety.

The minibus is operated by Team Sunderland. For more information about the service, please contact team@sunderland.ac.uk.
