Is there a cheap train or some other transport from London to Nottingham?

Depends on your definition of "cheap"

I use TRAINLINE to suss our prices.

I suppose there are coach services...try NATIONALEXPRESS ...or Google.

[Jon MW]

Trainline charge a fee which obviously the train companies don"t if you book direct.

East Midlands trains usually have the cheapest general fare

[cashman]

national express the websight is a train and bus company

Oh...absolutely..but for investigation purposes they are fine.

[MintTrav]

Megatrain is the cheapest - unless someone can find cheaper than £1.

I went from Southampton to Reading on Easter Monday by train.

Single price was 10.30 return was 10.35 - go figure

Seems fair. It just reflects the market - who would want to go back to Southampton?

Popular choices for hotels in Nottingham within easy driving distance of DTD.

Holiday Inn - Castle Marina
Castle Bridge Road
New Lenton
Nottingham, NG7 1GX

I believe (info is a couple of years old) this hotel offers a "Dusk Til Dawn rate" which is around the same price as booking in advance online (£60+) but allows a refund if you drop out. Ring them up and book on the DTD rate with no deposit required. Check before confirming.


Premier Travel Inn Nottingham
Castle Marina Park
Castle Bridge Road
Nottingham
NG7 1GX

Around £50 a night (less if you don"t take the flexible option)


Travelodge Nottingham Riverside
Riverside Retail Park
Tottle Road
Queens Drive
Nottingham
NG2 1RT

Often some real deals here...check their "Saver" page. Prices as low as £19 a night. You can only book these one night at a time but if you make multiple reservations there are some real savings to be made. However, be aware that to get these rates you have to book well in advance and they cannot be cancelled.

Innkeepers Lodge - Nottingham
Toby Carvery
Wollaton Park
Derby Road
Nottingham
NG8 2NR

Often has a "3rd night free" special offer. You can get 3 nights for around £100+

And some of the Holiday Inn"s own rate"s are cheaper than this (advanced internet I think)
