UN1

Next up is the UN1, think of this as the U1's 'up all night partying' younger brother. Running midnight to 4:22 AM, seven days a week from Campus East into York City Centre via Green Dykes Lane and Lansdowne Terrace and back. Whether you’re heading out for a late-night study session or returning from a night out, the UN1 has you covered.
