Bus

• Travel from Edinburgh city centre via the Borders bus, X62 or X95, originating from Edinburgh Bus Station

Shuttlebus

A shuttle minibus runs between the Edinburgh Campus and the Scottish Borders Campus, twice daily on weekdays (excluding local holidays). You must book a space on the shuttlebus at least 24 hours in advance by emailing borders.shuttle@hw.ac.uk.

As the shuttle bus has limited capacity, you must book your seat in advance of your journey. There are only two designated pick-up and stop points: Edinburgh Campus and Borders Campus. Please note that the bus will not stop at any other points on the journey.

• The bus service is for students, staff and visitors to Heriot-Watt University only
• Staff can book places on the bus provided there is space after student bookings have been taken into consideration
• If the bus is fully booked, you will be put on a reserve list, and you may turn up at the departure point on the off chance that somebody does not turn up.
• Priority will be given to those on the reserve list. If making a same day booking i.e., for the afternoon run, then please try to book before 14.30 that day.
• If you turn up on spec to travel on the bus, provided you give your name to the driver and that there is a vacant seat available you will be able to travel
• Be aware however that the bus can be full on occasions
• We can only accept hand luggage or small back packs as there is no luggage carrying capacity available on the bus, if you are travelling with large suitcases or bags then you will need to use public transport
