The hopper starts at George Green Library (UN31) and will leave every hour (Mon-Sat) from:
- 7.30pm - 10.30pm (Autumn/Spring timetable)
- 8pm - 11pm (Summer timetable)
The hopper will call at a number of bus stops across University Park, Jubilee Campus, Lenton and Beeston. Check the timetable for timings and the order of stops.
If you have your University Card with you, please tap the card reader machine next to the driver. If you don’t have a card, the driver will manually record your journey.
