Getting to East Durham College is easy!!
Alongside the numerous Arriva, Go North East and Stagecoach services, the college also provides its ED Services in partnership with Arriva.
Arriva operates a number of dedicated bus routes for EDC which bring students directly into college - ED1, ED2, ED3, ED4 & ED5. And to make things even easier, during term time you just need to show your EDC student ID badge to be able to jump on any Arriva* or ED Service to travel for free!!
If you need to use a Go North East or Stagecoach service to get to college, due to where you live, you can claim the cost back if you qualify for our student bursary.
Valid EDC Student ID Cards must be shown when boarding any Arriva* network or ED service bus. Connections between ED1, ED2, ED4 & ED5 services can be made at either the Peterlee or Houghall Campus, via The Technical Academy, using the ED3 Service that runs between all college sites.
