  1. 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.

    I will always explain revoked keys, unless the UK government
    prevents me by using the RIP Act 2000.

    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 :-)

    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.

  20. The main A52 road route is frightening at any time.Have a look at the
    map and see the route passing south of Ockbrook on B501 and continuing
    pretty straight to the island just round the corner from the station.Or
    the sustrans route is nice but dark and indirect.I too think neither of
    these are on really.Surely there must be a bus from the station in the
    middle of nottingham to Sheffield.
