spooky, I'm looking for a similar journey but during the week. From what I've seen the via Nuneaton is quicker.

Book before you go on londonmidland.com to get the 50% offer :)

£7.25 Milton Keynes Central - Nuneaton Route LM ONLY off peak day return, take advantage of their 50% sale

£10.70 Nuneaton - Loughborough Any Permitted Off Peak Day Return (no 50% sale on this one )

total cost : £17.95 :)

also remeber your last direct service is 1802 Nuneaton - Milton Keynes Central, after that you have to Change at Northampton on the 1902 or 2002, if you wished on the way home you could also do Nuneaton - Coventry 153 LM, then COV - NMP - MKC LM :)

sweet - that is a VERY good deal! best go and charge the camera up!

Have Fun :) Your ticket from Rugby - Lougborough is routed Nuneaton :) so as long as you go via Nuneaton you are fine

also if you choose to back via COV, then after 1931 all Virgin Pendo's call Rugby, MKC so you wouldnt have to go via NMP :)
