Edinburgh Telford College Travel?

Question

I have signed up for Edinburgh Telford College Open Learning Highers.

I know there is NABs coming up soon although they havent given dates, i was thinking if all NABs for all subjects where close together i should just stay in Edinburgh in a hotel for a few days to do my NABs.

I live in Glasgow so its about one hour and a bit to get there and i could be doing last minute studying, no mentioning it takes me about an hour to get to the bus station in glasgow lol

I was wondering if anyone knew what bus i would get from edinbrugh bus station to get to the College? And also if there was any hotels close to the college and how close? Thanks!

Answer 1

The college is on West Granton Road.

Here's a link to all the buses that service the college, http://www.ed-coll.ac.uk/article/uploade...

There's a Holiday Inn at Ocean Terminal about 3 miles from the college.  

Answer 2

The College is located on Edinburgh’s waterfront on West Granton Road.

Service 8 14 16 17 19 38 47/X47 X29 X50 all serve the college from the Bus Station.

You are as cheaper travelling from Glasgow every day than staying in a City Centre Hotel & just as quick from travelling from a hotel in Portobello.

You could try for  a B&B in Leith & get the 32 bus to the college. Takes 20 Minutes.

Answer 3

If the NABs are in the next few weeks getting a reasonably priced hotel in Edinburgh will be tricky because of the festivals and tattoo.  There are lots of moderately priced B&Bs round leith and portobello, which are both within a few miles of Telford College

There's a limited bus service from Edinburgh Bus Station to Telford College.  The X29 runs four times in the morning to the college and a few times in the evening back to the city centre.  Not a great service - if I were you I'd call Telford and ask them the best way to get out there.
