 Ema has a nice landing

With the growth of low-cost airlines such as Easyjet and BMIbaby it is now quite a busy place. Gone are the days when Jasper Carrot could reasonably describe East Midlands Airport as the only airport he knew 'With a cattle Grid on the runway'.
Despite all the development transport links are still not great. The 'Rainbow 5' bus into Nottingham from the aiport is certainly cheap - but is also quite slow taking about an hour.
UPDATE NOV 05 - Rainbow 5 still exists, but there is now a much faster direct service operating 24hrs a day called 'airlink 777' or something similar. Details on the airport website Leave a Comment

East Midlands Aiport isn't really in or very near Nottingham, to be honest. It's nearer to Derby. But it has good onward transport links to both places (and to Leicester). The airport website will give you details.
There is plenty of parking, but it's best to book online in advance for best prices. UK airport parking is always expensive.
The airport serves budget airlines as well as mainstream, so it's a good choice if you want to visit the East Midlands area.
It's very small with just one terminal. There are places to eat/drink/shop, although most of these are after security. There's only one cafe in the departures area.
One big advantage of using such a small airport is that there are rarely long queues for security (other than at times in the UK school holidays) or for immigration/baggage reclaim. Leave a Comment

Just a short bus ride from Nottingham and the Bonio's favourite airport - close to home and easy to get to.
Most of the low cost carriers can be found operating from here and the large package firms too.
see the website for up to date details. Leave a Comment

The bus system in Nottingham isn't too bad - the buses are pretty frequent and timetables are easy to get hold of.
The annoying thing about Notts is the roadworks - the tram system is under construction and the diversions have been hell...its nearly over though - heaven only knows when they'll get going. Leave a Comment

Trams were reintroduced to Nottingham in 2004. There is currently one line, which runs from Nottingham Station, through the Lace Market and old Market Square, then northward to Bulwell and Hucknall. There are plans to extend the network. The trams run from around 6am to midnight. You can travel all day on the trams for £2.20, but it is better to buy a CityRider ticket for £2.50, which entitles you to travel all day on Nottingham's buses as well as trams. You can buy the tickets on the trams. Leave a Comment

 Which one is Robin Hood ? by sourbugger
It's called the NET (Nottingham express transport) whilst the weekly tickets go under the equally catchy title of 'Easyrider' (plenty of room for jokes here).
You can buy tickets on board from the conductor- but as only one line is open so far, it is of very limited use to the tourist. It does however provide a useful link from the Train station to the Marketplace (where the Tourist Information office is). Eighty pence for two stops. Leave a Comment

There are no subways or metros in Nottingham, but they are in the process of building a tram system. The tram will start operating soon.
Alternatively, you can take the bus. There's a big Broadmarsh bus station and a train station. Leave a Comment
