How do I get there by public transport?
BY TRAIN:
Mainline Services: Southampton Airport Parkway and Eastleigh stations are about 25 minutes walk away from the site (or see bus details below). Both are served by local and long-distance services from London and the South as well as by Cross Country services from further away.
Eastleigh Lakeside Railway: Frequent services from Eastleigh Parkway (ample free parking) to Monks Brook Halt. From the halt it is 5 minutes walk to Chestnut Avenue and Barton Peveril College. Let the (smaller) train take the strain….. The ELR is at Lakeside Country Park, about 5 minutes walk from Southampton Airport Parkway Station. Check out their website here
ELR will be running additional services in support of the exhibition. The last train back to Lakeside will leave Monks Brook station at 5:10pm.
BY BUS (to be updated)
Bluestar Route 5/5a, (Eastleigh to Romsey, hourly) from Eastleigh station, stops outside the college. Check out the timetable here: Bluestar Route 5
Bluestar Route 2, (Southampton to Fair Oak, half hourly) from Eastleigh station or Southampton has several stops within a few minutes walk of the college. If travelling from Southampton (City Centre/Swathling) alight at The Cricketers Arms pub (Chestnut Ave) and walk to the East along Chestnut Ave to the College. If travelling from Fair Oak or Eastleigh Station alight at the Tennyson Road stop on Derby Road (to the rear of the college) and walk down Tennyson Road to the College entrance.
