Transport options: Foyle street to Coleraine campus

JJayoo

Will be getting a Bus into Foyle street on Tuesday and from there i will need to make my way to the Coleraine campus. I have been checking online without success. Hoping some locals can shed some light

Its been 20yrs since I was at Coleraine, but you could either get a bus from the Foyle Street depot to Coleraine, then a bus out to the campus (or its about a 25min walk) or else walk across to the Railway station in the Waterside, and get the train to Coleraine, and from there you can get a train out to the campus.

Here's a quick search on Translink website

Thanks for the reply Niman. I was checking out the train timetables earlier but was hoping for a quicker option as it seems to take 1h 40m to get from Derry city to the Coleraine campus. I thought maybe there was a direct route used by students.

Contact Magee campus, and see if they know any more information. Years ago I do think there was a bus to the UUs' other campuses from Magee.

Ok, think I've found the best option.

Derry (Foyle street) 12.30 ----> Coleraine University central building 13.40

Hopefully this information is correct or else I'm banjaxed.

Yup that should be fine for you, the depot in Derry is small so it should be pretty easy to find that bus. NIMan, has the train station reopened yet? I thought they were still doing shuttle buses from Derry?

NIMAN

I thought it had recently, but I may be wrong.
