I think it looks to be the same bus operating the 40 all day, so we return on the 1603 Nottingham City Transport service 40 to Nottingham (Queen Street), arriving there at 1633 on Sunday afternoon.

Not much in the way of rail services or buses other than a local town service, so we return on the 1900 NET service to Nottingham Station, arriving there at 1933 on Sunday evening, where we can probably get more of a choice of onward connections from here.

Google Maps has that as 0.6 miles?
