It'a on the old Ravenscraig site so not close to town centre (around 2 miles) and would probably need to get a bus. As for where to stay not sure if there's any student specific accommodation in Motherwell, Glasgow would be nearest.

Och Aye Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Now called New College Lanarkshire. It has halls of residence on site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbcmfc Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Glasgow - Motherwell college is a slow journey by bus! It's not very close to any train station either. Shieldmuir is probably the closest? It's a new place, so sure it will be modern. Can't really add much else to what has already been said. The advice motherwell fans generally give to our european visitors is, whatever you do, don't stay in motherwell! Get a place in town and come out for the game. From an academic point of view though, I'd suggest your boy would be better in motherwell, otherwise it's very easy not to bother. Culturally?

davierobbsagod Posted January 27, 2015 Author Share Posted January 27, 2015 Thanks for all the reply Gents, in a nutshell if he gets the train to Glasgow central which station should he look to get off in motherwell,is it called Motherwell and if going by bus which bus would he get from Buchannon street station ? Thanks, I know I could probably find the timetables online but local knowledge is much better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilly71 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) I think Airbles is the nearest station? Edited January 27, 2015 by neilly71 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rasputin Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 http://travelinescotland.com/journeyplanner/showJourneyDetailsPage.do?rid=1422361649558&hss=yaYjS238857185 Use the above link if it is the Motherwell Campus, New College Lanarkshire was the merger of Motherwell College, Coatbridge College and Cumbernauld College, so there is campuses at each of these as well as one in Kirkintilloch which was part of Cumbernauld College.
