How to get to and from the University
Keele University is situated two miles to the west of Newcastleunder-Lyme
in North Staffordshire, on the A525 road to Whitchurch,
Nantwich and Crewe. Hawthorns Hall is a slightly further West, just
off the A525, in Keele village. The Hospital Campus is situated on
London Road (A34), just to the south of Newcastle-under-Lyme.
Arrival by car: - From the East, or from the M6, follow road signs to
Newcastle-under-Lyme from where the University is approached by
the A525 road signposted to Whitchurch. If arriving from Crewe,
approach by the A525 road. If arriving from Shrewsbury, approach
via the A53 and A525.
*Parking - There is a limited amount of parking designated for
visitors: please obtain a parking ticket (not required on weekends,
Visit and Open Days) from the Pay-and-Display machines located at
the campus entrances or by the Main Reception (Darwin) Building.
Arrival by rail: - The nearest railway stations are at Stoke-on-Trent
and Crewe. Trains run between London Euston– Manchester
Piccadilly and Crewe–Derby. Arrival and Departure information can
be obtained from the national rail enquiry service on 0845 7 48 49
50 (local rate charged)
From Stoke-on-Trent Station - “First PMT” buses (service 25, or 24
(slowest)) leave the stop opposite the station entrance. There is a
taxi rank just outside the station and typically the taxi journey to the
University takes between 15 and 20 minutes.
From Crewe station - “D&G” buses (service 85A) to Hanley leave
from the bus stop near the roundabout to the right of the station
entrance and across the road, and travel through the campus
(journey time about 35 minutes). Alight outside the Darwin Building
for the 24-hour Reception.
Arrival by coach: - coaches from all parts of the country call at
Hanley or Newcastle-under-Lyme bus stations. Buses to the
campus (service numbers First PMT 25 or 24 (slowest), and D&G
C85A) run from both stations.
Departure by coach or rail: - First PMT (service 25, or the slower
24) buses run through the campus to Newcastle bus station, and
then to Stoke-on-Trent Railway Station and Hanley Bus Station;
**Service 85A buses to Newcastle-under-Lyme do NOT go as far as
Stoke railway station**.
Service 85A buses TO Chester via Crewe run through the campus
reaching Crewe Railway Station in 35 minutes.
Taxi - May be called from pay phones on the campus or by using
the direct line in the Darwin Building (24 Hour Reception). Special
low rates have been negotiated with Roseville Taxis (tel. 613456).

Road-travel Directions
ST5 5BG
Approaching from the South via the M6:
Leave the motorway at junction 15, go left at the first
roundabout onto the A519 to Newcastle-under-Lyme. Continue
on this road crossing two more roundabouts. After about two
miles you will descend a hill towards the town of Newcastle;
continue right at the bottom of the hill, cross the small
roundabout by the supermarket and take the first exit at the next
roundabout to enter a dual carriageway system. Go straight on
at the next roundabout and then turn left at the next roundabout
signposted to Keele. Turn right at the traffic lights at the “T”
junction and after about one mile cross a roundabout, and
continuing up the hill you will find the University Entrance on the
left at the top of the rise.
Approaching from the North via the M6:
Leave the motorway at junction 16, turning right onto the A500
heading towards Nantwich. Continue for about two miles, go left
at the roundabout, continue for a further mile and go left at the
next roundabout onto the A531 towards Betley. Continue on this
road for approximately eight miles until you reach the Keele
University entrance.
Approaching from the East, using the A50:
Travel along the A50 until it ends just past the ‘Britannia’ Stoke
City football stadium. Turn left (and moving into the right-hand
lane) join the A500. Move into a right-hand lane on the A500 to
go over the flyover. After about 1 mile turn right at the
roundabout onto the A519 to Newcastle-under-Lyme. Continue
on this road crossing two more roundabouts. After about two
miles you will descend a hill towards the town; continue right at
the bottom of the hill, cross the small roundabout by the
supermarket and take the first exit at the next roundabout to
enter a dual carriageway system. Go straight on at the next
roundabout and then turn left at the next roundabout signposted
to Keele. Turn right at the traffic lights at the “T” junction and
after about one mile cross a roundabout, and continuing up the
hill you will find the University Entrance on the left at the top of
the rise.
Approaching from the East through Stoke-on-Trent:
Head for Newcastle-under-Lyme which has a small ring road
system. Look for sign-posting to Whitchurch (A525) and
following this you will find the University entrance at the top of
the hill.
Approaching from the West via Crewe/Nantwich:
Use the approach via the A531 passing through Betley and
Madeley Heath.
Approaching from the West from Shrewsbury:
Take the A53 for Newcastle-under-Lyme. On the outskirts of
the town you will pass over the M6 motorway. After about half a
mile turn left at the next roundabout - follow this road to the “T”
junction, and then turn left into Gallowstree Lane. Follow this
road to the roundabout where you turn left up the hill to Keele.
Keele University entrance is on the left at the top of the hill.
