Getting To Plymouth
Rail
Plymouth is served by Great Western Inter-City trains from London Paddington.
This journey takes about 3.5 hours. There are also direct servies from Wales,
the Midlands, Northern England and Cornwall. Train times can be found via
the Railtrack journey planner
and tickets can be purchased from
thetrainline.com.
Note that pre-booked tickets are usually substantially cheaper than those
bought on the day of travel.
Air
Although Plymouth has an airport, it is not very useful unless you are
travelling from Eire or the Channel Islands. Otherwise, fly to either
Bristol or any of the main London airports and continue the journey by
coach or rail.
Coach
National Express run coach
services to Plymouth from a variety of locations including London Victoria
and Heathrow Airport.
Sea
Plymouth has a long naval history. As such it is not surprising that ferries
connect it to both Roscoff (France) and Santander (Spain). These are run by
Brittany Ferries.
Getting to Tamarside College
Bus
The numbers 16, 63 and 64 busses stop right outside the college. They can be
caught from Saltash Road, just outside the railway station.
Road
Tamarside College is a little way off of the A38 in Kings Tamarton. A map can
be found via
streetmap.co.uk.
From A38 Devon Expressway Westbound,take the St.Budeaux slip road (this is
the last slip road before the Tamar Bridge) followed by the first turn on
the left into Roman Way. Travel up a small hill to junction with Trevithick
Road. There is a small park located on the left. Just after the park is a
left turn which takes you to Tamarside Community Technology College.
