By Bus
Route 25 is a useful route to know as it operates up to every 10 minutes between Keele, Staffordshire University, Stoke Rail Station and the City Centre. The City Centre bus station is located just a few minutes walk to the main shopping, dining and entertainment areas. Many First Potteries and D&G buses stop within the City Centre.

By Train
Our closest railway station is in Stoke which is just over one mile away from the city centre. Whilst it’s just a 25 minute walk away, it’s really simple to get public transport too. A taxi takes just minutes and you’ll have no issues in flagging one down since there’s a taxi rank just to the left of the station. There are regular buses from right outside the station into the City Centre, most notably the 25 which comes every 10 minutes. Those travelling on trains from Manchester and Birmingham can expect to reach Stoke within 40 minutes and 55 minutes, respectively. To check out the train times and routes, visit The Trainline which brings together in one website (or app) all rail, coach and other travel services into one simple experience so you can get the best prices and smart, real-time travel info on the go.
