Bikes
Redcar is a small town, so cycling is one of the best ways to get around. It’s good for your health, free and fun!
Our friends at Sustrans help anyone to get their bike fixed and maintained. They can even help you find a free bike.

Buses and coaches
Bus travel in the UK offers an environmentally friendly, cost-effective, and convenient way to explore cities and access various destinations.
Students at Middlesbrough College receive a free bus pass, which can be used anywhere in the local area. Without a bus pass, ticket costs vary. You can explore options here.
You can get a coach for longer distance journeys. You can book at checkmybus.co.uk
Trains
Trains are a popular mode of transportation in the UK, and they can take you to many different places. To use a train, you need to buy a ticket either at the station or online (www.thetrainline.com). When you board the train, make sure to find a seat and keep your ticket handy for inspection.
Driving
Refugees in the UK can typically apply for a provisional driving license if they meet certain criteria, such as having permission to stay in the country for at least 12 months. You’ll need to pass a theory test and a practical driving test to obtain a full driving license.
