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.

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 :-)

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.

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.
