The former Nottingham Low Level station is now a Virgin Active gym: http://www.virginactive.co.uk/clubs/nottingham

From a cursory scan of the EMT Nottingham - London St Pancras timetable, I can't see any journey time improvements on this route. I recall more improvements were expected.

Another extension of the tram is under consideration. This time to Ripley: http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-derbyshire-28655040

It has been confirmed today that funding has been granted for a feasibility study into the extension of the tram to Kimberley. http://www.nottinghampost.com/Study-explore-tram-extension-Kimberley-confirmed/story-22012966-detail/story.html

Happened again yesterday! Though, to give EMT staff credit, the train manager did her best to make up for it for 1st class passengers.

This afternoon I travelled on the 17:37 East Midlands Trains service from Nottingham to London St Pancras. This is a journey I have done every other Sunday for the past six weeks. On each occasion there was no on board catering due to service failures by Rail Gourmet - something always made...

Revised timetables are on the EMT website.

I don't know about EMT but Midland Mainline were very keen on East Midlands Parkway. I remember first being about it in the late 1990s. As I'm sure many know the development of the station was held up because of dispute with the neighbouring power station over liabilities if there was an...

Even though journey time improvements have been promised for May looking at the timetables in June I can't see any evidence of any improvement, at least as far as Nottingham-London is concerned.

On a related note, it's good to see the long-proposed Unity Square development opposite the station is to go ahead which will significantly improve the surrounding area compared to what is there at present...

I was in Nottingham at the weekend, and after months of the station being surrounded by scaffolding, I could finally see the progress in remodelling the station. The scaffolding has now been taken down and the station exterior looks so much better. Walking out of the station through the...

The BBC has now finally caught on to the fact that the MML is not yet operating at the promised speed levels! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-26140652

I have certainly noticed the change since December. Travelling down from Nottingham to London St Pancras a couple of services I have taken have taken approximately 1 hour 35 minutes (currently timetabled for 1 hour 40+ minutes).

I've done a long commute nearly that was nearly two hours door to door each way for five days a week most weeks. When it's part of your daily routine, you get used to it but I was so relieved when I stopped and my life returned to normality. Getting up early in winter and walking to the...

Typically lazy reporting from BBC Nottingham and the Nottingham Post today who not neglected to point out that there is just one train a day from Nottingham to London with a journey time of 91 minutes! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-25301981

On a related note, looking at the timetables there are modest improvements for Nottingham-Sheffield and Nottingham-Leeds from the December timetable.

I travelled from London to Nottingham today and everything seemed to be running smoothly (and no being held outside!). The main physical change I noticed was what is now platform 7 (formerly 6) and the construction of a new canopy for the platform.

I think if you happen to work near to a mainline station then long-distance commuting in London can not be too bad, but getting on the Tube at the height of rush hour really adds to both time and stress levels. And all it takes is one train to develop a fault to send a Tube line into chaos...

Does anyone know what typical line speed improvements are expected from December? I'm specifically interested in London St Pancras - Nottingham. Thanks.

What annoys me is when a passenger who finds their reserved seat is occupied decides the best way to deal with it is to sit in someone else's reserved seat! A passenger on a recent train to London who was sitting in someone else's reserved seat had no problem in telling the passenger to...
