Where can I buy a bike?
You can find deals on brand new or second-hand bikes online on Gumtree. With Gumtree, you can pay only on collection and in cash. So do not feel the need to advance any money to any seller even if they demand this.

• Bus

Aberystwyth is served by a bus operator service with access to the campuses at Penglais, Llanbadarn and Gogerddan. You can purchase a student bus pass from the Students’ Union and plan your journey here.

Can I get Student Discounts on Rail Travel?
Access to Wales and the wider UK is served by an extensive rail network from Aberystwyth Station. We highly recommend you apply for the 16-25 Railcard which saves you 1/3rd off the price of any rail ticket. If you are older than 25, do not worry. You can apply as a mature student. It costs only £30 for the whole year and is renewable if you are staying beyond a year. You can apply here.

Where can I buy train tickets?
Once you have got your Railcard, we recommend you use the Trainline ticketing platform to buy your ticket. You can download the app here and not only get tickets but also check timetables and updates.

REMEMBER!!! Before checking-out, make sure you include yourRailcard in order for your 1/3rd discount to be applied. Also remember to carry your Railcard with you (whether physical or digital) as it will be checked on the train by the train conductor.
