Your journey to Birmingham Newman University
Compare walking, cycling and bus options from our Harborne homes to the Bartley Green campus, with a budget check for Lime e-bikes.
Know your campus
Choose the right side of the city
Newman’s main teaching campus is on Genners Lane in Bartley Green. Unlike a university spread across the city centre and Edgbaston, your first destination is this campus; use its map for your room. Neither hall is on the campus itself. Compare both hall origins for the actual walking route and the most convenient bus stop.
23 via Harborne
Newman lists the 23 outside the university, linking Bartley Green with Harborne, Five Ways and the city centre.
University guidance ↗X21 / X22 alternatives
The university lists X21 via Selly Oak / University and X22 via the University / QE corridor. Check the exact stop: the X22 serves Jiggins Lane / Kitwell.

Bus & connections
Check the 23 via Harborne, which Newman lists outside campus. Also compare X21 and X22: Newman says X21 stops outside, while X22 serves Jiggins Lane / Kitwell. The best boarding stop depends on your hall and departure time.
The map updates with your chosen hall, building and travel option. You can also open the route in Google Maps or use the TfWM planner for bus-only options. Check your departure time, stop direction, final walking leg and accessible entrance before travelling.
