Green Travel Plan

Here at Sutherland Studios we care about the environment so before you jump into your car please take the time to think about the effects that your journey has on the environment and consider some of the following green travel alternatives.

Car Share: At Sutherland Studios we are advocates of car sharing.  To help with this we provide a quality back line and drum kit (at no extra cost) for all Bands,  Musicians and Students to use - making it easier for you and your band to car share.  Not only would you be doing your bit for the environment but this could also save you quite a lot of money, cutting your fuel costs down by an average of up to 75%  (based on four people car sharing).

Parents:  SHOPPING - We are only a few steps away from Longton town centre and two minutes away from Tesco.  Why not drop off your child and do your weekly shop while they have their music lesson?... Saving you time, money and the worry of keeping an eye on the kids!

Take the bus: There is a bus stop right outside Sutherland Studios and we are also just five minutes walk away from Longton bus station.  For bus time tables please visit www.firstgroup.com or call 08708 500 868.  If you don’t want to carry your heavy instruments on the bus, we have lots here that you can use for free. (2 & 27 are the bus service numbers that pass by the studio) futher information is also available from Traveline on www.traveline.info or 0871 200 22 33 and Transport Direct on www.transportdirect.info.

Train: We are just five minuets walk form Longton train station, for more details including up to date train times please visit www.eastmidlandstrains.co.uk

Bike: Keep fit, save money and help to protect the environment...  We have a secure bike lock up on site and instruments for you to use when you get here!  We can also supply you with cycle maps, please ask for more details

Walk:  Remember we can provide all musicians with backline & instruments so If you dont live too far away from us why not choose the healthy option and travel by foot.

Thankyou for your time reading our green travel plan and helping us protect the environment.
