Default Nottingham - Derby

Does anyone on the group do Nottingham - Derby or v.v. on a
regulart basis? I want to go to a gig in Nottingham, and due to
the crapness of rail services in the Midlands there is no late
train back to Sheffield - however there is one from Derby at
midnight, so I'm just wondering whether it would be possible to do
the trip in an hour at night. All advice welcomed.

Cheers,
Simon

http://www.travelinescotland.com is better than the John Prescott
version and covers England. It gives a train at 23:21 from
Nottingham, change at Derby, arriving at Sheffield at 01:17. It also
has some later journeys by bus, one direct and one via East Midlands
Airport, for the enthusiastic.

I don't know if it is up to date with Central Trains' "emergency"
timetable though.

It might be better than TransportIndirect but it's wrong.
The last connection is at
22:09. Unfortunately these long haired chappies with
guitars and loon pants tend to carry on beyond God's
bedtime of ten-o'clock :-)

Might check out the bus option though.

I doubt you'll get from the center of Nottingham to Derby station by bike in
an hour; it's just over 15miles on awful roads (for cycling), and takes half
an hour by car when theres no traffic around.

Regards,

Pete.
Derby.
