travelling to Warwick...

[missjef]

I have been invited to go to Warwick Uni to go visit my friend on her birthday, and i have never been here before so i have no idea how i get there.. I would be travelling by train from either Leeds or York station.. i am from knaresborough so whichever is easiest to go from really.
It is on Saturday 28th, late afternoon returning on Sunday 29th late afternoon again..
many thanks!

despite its name, the university isn't in warwick. nearest station is coventry, from the station walk to warwick road bridge & take a no12 bus straight to the uni campus.

on weekdays, through trains from York/Leeds to coventry are every 2 hours, eg 0744/0810 york/leeds arrives 1023, otherwise there are 2 trains an hour from york to birmingham (one of which runs via leeds), and up to 6 trains an hour from birmingham to coventry.
