Hmmm, when I type in NATS ATC Course 233 it pops up, but then I created it so surprise there! Has anybody else had any joy? It's a closed group, but anyone can see it (according to the settings anyways)

The parking at CTC is not as limited you seem to think; we start at 0815 so there are plenty of spaces, even next to the E-Block door. As far as living is concerned a few of us have our families down, a few share houses and a few rent rooms. The houses are generally in Whiteley, Locks Heath, Park Gate and Eastleigh. I would advise renting privately if possible or getting a room through somewhere like spareroom.com as the letting agents are robbers (£200 each 'letting fees' aren't unusual). I don't know of any buses but I don't know any trainees that use any. For the most part everyone drives and occasionally those who share a house share a car.

Go to Hampshire First Bus and look at the timetable, page 4 for service number 28. There are 8 throughout the day, one getting to Whiteley at 7:30am and one at 8:51am, nothing in between.

Or you can take the train from Fareham, which takes 6mins, and walk from the train station via Rookery Avenue to the CTC, should take less than half an hour and there are trains that get into Swanwick for 07:42 so plenty of time!
As for the buses, they've obviously changed it since I last looked; in 2010 they had some that got to Whiteley for about 7:45. Is there not a NATS bus service from Swanwick to CTC?

There's one NATS bus from Swanwick train station leaving the station at 830am getting to CTC for 840am. There is also an option to get the bus from the airport Parkway station at either 750 or 810am, both journeys taking 20 minutes. There is just one bus going back from CTC to Swanwick, leaves CTC at 1730 and takes 10 minutes. There are several options from CTC to Parkway starting at 1545 and the last is 1815.
