An exciting new mode of transport comes to campus
From this week, staff and students have access to a speedy mode of travel around Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
Loughborough University in London is very pleased to support our landlord LLDC and Here East in launching Bird with their landmark mobility solution on the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London. Our students and staff will be the first in the United Kingdom to ride this exciting new form of transport.Professor David Deacon, Dean
We’re really excited to be launching Bird in Queen Elizabeth Park today. People that study and work in the area will now have access to an environmentally friendly transport option to help get around. All over the world, Bird is transforming the way people get around their cities, and we hope this pilot demonstrates the advantages our service could bring the whole of London.Richard Corbett, Head of Bird UK
