Travel information for students

Shuttle bus service to campus

Harper Adams runs a subsidised shuttle bus service between the campus and Newport. 

The pick-up and drop-off point at Harper Adams is the QMH car park, and in Newport is the Bus Interchange off Stafford Street, behind B&M. This service runs during the academic year, with a reduced service out of term-time.

Please note that the vehicle may vary, however it will always have the A-Star Transport name and/or logo on the side.

The Quad

From September 2025, the shuttle bus will also take students to and from The Quad, our new Digital Hub in Telford. The Quad, where students studying BEng Robotics, Automation and Mechatronic Engineering, BSc Applied Data Science and FdSc Digital Business Management, is open to all students to use its facilities. Details on timetables, locations and dates will be announced nearer the time.

Weekend shuttle bus service

Harper Adams runs a subsidised minibus service at the weekends to Newport (on Saturdays) and Telford Town Centre (on Sundays), leaving from QMH.  The weekend service only operated during term-time.

While the weekend service does not currently serve The Quad, students based at our Telford site will have access to weekday shuttle transport between The Quad and Edgmond from September. Timetables and further details will be confirmed closer to the start of term.

Vacation shuttle bus service

Harper Adams runs a subsidised and reduced minibus service during vacation periods. Harper Adams Shuttle Bus vacation dates can be found on the Shuttle Bus vacation timetable.

You can get your daily return, weekly, termly or annual shuttle bus pass from the Harper Adams online store.
