University towns lacking railway stations

[ArranBrown]

Decided to post this question here rather than under travel, I'd like to know which university towns in Britain don't have railway stations. St Andrews is the only Scottish one; apart from that I only know of Keele in England and (I think) Lampeter in Wales. Any more?

Keele is about half an hour by bus from Stoke on Trent station - see attached http://www.keele.ac.u.../howtofindus/byrail/.

Thank you. However the settlement of Keele itself (I don't know how much there is to it apart from the university) does not have a railway station, and neither does Newcastle under Lyme. Similarly, although Leuchars is 5-6 miles away, St Andrews itself, although it has a university, has no station. I am trying to find out how many other British university towns are not on the rail network..

The University of Wales, Lampeter is nowhere near a railway station:

Cranfield University isn't particularly close to any rail station:

But Cranfield isn't a 'university town' either! (It's one of three villages around which the university is spread).

The University of Buckingham has no local rail station:

Multi-campus universities might present you with a bit of a problem. For example, while the University of Cumbria has its HQ in Lancaster (which is served by rail), it also has a campus at Ambleside (with no local station).

Those are the only candidates which my first look at this list identified:

That's very helpful, Buenchico. I won't count multi-campus establishments if the settlement in which the main campus is located does have a station. So that gives me: Keele, Buckingham, Cranfield, Lampeter and St Andrews; a mere handful, and more ammunition for the St Andrews rail link campaign.
