    Hi I have a suggestion regarding the bus transport. I feel in addition to U1 Unibus, there should be a bus service that runs from Royal Derby Hospital or somewhere in Mickleover that goes to Kedleston Road Campus. Students and staff who are already from Derby (their home town) use this bus service a lot, which explains why it gets so full. I feel this proposed bus service would alleviate pressure of U1 and allow medical and healthcare related course students to use this bus service.

11:34am on 19 Feb 25 Hi I have a suggestion regarding the bus transport. I feel in addition to U1 Unibus, there should be a bus service that runs from Royal Derby Hospital or somewhere in Mickleover that goes to Kedleston Road Campus. Students and staff who are already from Derby (their home town) use this bus service a lot, which explains why it gets so full. I feel this proposed bus service would alleviate pressure of U1 and allow medical and healthcare related course students to use this bus service to travel to and from Royal Derby Hospital since they have placements there. Not only would this be sustainable since students and staff wouldn't have to catch as many prior Trent Barton or Arriva buses to get to Derby City Centre to get the U1 bus, but it would alleviate a lot of pressure of U1. I feel a trial bus service should be done for this, maybe call this U3. Also, lots of other universities have separate buses for medical and healthcare related disciplines. E.g. Uni of Nottingham have 904 bus service allowing them to travel from Uni Park Campus to Royal Derby Hospital and vice versa (where Derby Medical School is located near Children's Hospital). Therefore this saves a lot of money since it a free bus service, therefore Uni of Notts students don't have to use the Red Arrow bus service which is very expensive and only goes to Derby bus station. So Uni of Notts student don't have to get another bus from Derby bus station to Royal Derby Hospital. I feel Uni of Derby should trial a similar approach - it would be cost effective, sustainable and alleviate pressure of U1 bus.
