Getting to East Midlands airport
Had a look at national rail, national express, ryanair and EM Airport.
1. the terrovision coach to Liverpool does not operate to EM Airport leaving Nat Express or train.
2. Nat express would require you to go from Manchester - Leeds - Sheffield - EM and takes about 5 hours and costs £27. Looks very inconvenient.
3. Train costs £30 from Stockport (no railcard)
4. I'm OK cos I can get a 1 way ticket to Loughbrough from Sheffield for £7. For once working in Rotherham comes up trumps!
5. So......for you the best solution so far seems to be get £12.90 train ticket Stockport-Sheffield, then use a cheap day ticket (bought in advance) Sheffield -Loughbrough at £7 and I can meet you in Shef -Lough train.....there's a possibility of getting manchester-Sheffield Nat express and trying to get train from there but they don't connect well and there's a possibility you'll miss the train. And you don't save much.
6.skylink.com show routes from loughbrough stn to EM Airport. There's one at 2220 (best) and one at 0220.
7. Think EM Airport is open 24hrs but can't find much info on that.
