Always a pleasure to travel EMR. Staff just brilliant. I often upgrade to first coz it’s an absolute pleasure. Hats off to the amazing 1st class Crewe of the 1532 to Sheffield 25/4/23 and their colleagues on other services from London to derby who I meet every now and then. Keep going and keep having fun.
Advance tickets could be changed for free in the past. Now, to squeeze even more money out of consumers, they charge a £10 admin fee even when the changes are made online or via their app both of which are very glitchy.
Short train and 25mins late as per normal. To be fair at £120 return for a 58min journey on Europe’s dirtiest trains at least it’s a bargain.
East Midlands Trains FAQs
Is there always a place to park or does the carpark get full please ?
Its always got spaces available and is never full so you shall definitely get a space.
Hello,
is there a taxi service available from the station, please note this is not to go to the airport.
Many thanks
Sometimes Taxi's wait around at the station. However it is best to prebook to avoid waiting.
Can I pay for parking at East Midlands parkway by cash or am I obliged to use the app?
You can also pay at machines in the Ticket Hall. To save time on day trips, I suggest pre-paying at the Ticket Window, at busy times this can save a 5 minute queue at the ticket machines.
Where do you pick up the megabus
At the train station
Can I leave a car here overnight?
Can do, but may find Long Eaton a better / cheaper option, as Erewash Borough Council runs that carpark, and has a 48hrs option, and on street parking is not too bad either.
Is there a direct route to london from here
Yes, served by services from Derby / Nottingham, by East Midlands Trains.
How far is it from East Midlands airport
Looking about 10 mins drive. Be aware, there is no public transport from the station, barring the Railink taxi, details which can be found on the airports site (Operated by Arrow cars). The NET tram park and ride site, is also not far.
If you are looking for a bus to the airport, best to go via Long Eaton, catch the TrentBarton Nottingham Skylink / MY15

Yes, at the station front.
