As part of a partnership with Plymouth Citybus we are offering the opportunity to park and ride for free at the George Park and Ride Site (PL6 7HB) for people that hold an invitation to our open day. Please use the 42C service direct from the George Park and Ride to the University of Plymouth. This service operates every 30 minutes from 7am until 7pm, then every hour until 10.59pm.

All you need to do is show your invitation to the open day to the driver on the date in question and this will grant you access to the 42C service. This offer is valid for the invitation holder, and any additional passengers will be charged accordingly a single ticket is £3, a day ticket £7 adult and £5.50 child (up to the age of 18).

Please be aware, there are planned roadworks and building plans happening this year near the George Park and Ride. We advise all visitors using the Park and Ride to expect slight delays with the bus service as well as traffic going in and out of the Park and Ride.
