Derby Flights

Getting Derby is very easy, there are different trains which goes from London, Birmingham and other cities of England. The coach network is superb as well and it is very cheap way to travel to Derby.

The Spondon Flyer is the best way to get into Derby City centre by bus as it is a direct route from all areas in Spondon. It is £1.50 per adult for a single ticket or £2.90 for a return. They run every 15 minutes and it only takes 10 minutes to get into the city centre. It is an excellent and cheaper way to get to town rather than using your car and paying for car parking which is normally £1.50 for 2 hours.

Derby has good train links with most major cities in the UK with Virgin, Midland Mainline and Central trains covering routes like London, Glasgow and Cardiff plus nearer destinations like Nottingham, Stoke and Birmingham. There is also a shuttle bus to East Midlands Airport that takes around 30 minutes. The recommended minimum connection time at Derby is 10 minutes.

There is an ATM in the booking hall and left luggage facilities that are open from 9.15am to 3.45pm. Buses and taxis both stop just outside the station.

Seven Two Taxis Ltd provide a 24 hour service in and around the Derby area with metered taxis. If you see a bright yellow cab then it is likely to be one of theirs. I found them pretty efficient and quick to arrive when I used them and the phone number is easy to remember, 01332 72 72 72.
