I was planning on going from Derby to London today but there’s a lot of cancellations due to the casualties. I can get to Derby, Long Eaton and Ilkeston train stations by car, is there any way I can get to London? I know there’s trains running but I imagine they’ll be super busy and I’m trying to avoid being crammed on the train. I’m currently in a trade off of a train being cramped and taking ages to get to London so I appreciate any suggestions re alternative routes! I have a peak anytime return ticket from London to Sheffield (through chesterfield, and this is the return trip) although I haven’t used the Sheffield to Derby part as I drove. I will blame the cancellations on why I have gone a different route/will purchase a ticket if it’s relatively cheap to link up my journey. Please help!!

Is XC Derby to Tamworth and then changing to LNR for Tamworth to Euston a possibility?
Or Tamworth to Rugby or MKC and change to an Avanti from there to Euston

Not valid on a Sheffield-London ticket, I don’t think. Unless by exception.
