Spot on… for getting you there quicker
Faster than by car
Time is money in business, so why travel to London by car when you can get there quicker by train? By train, the average journey time is between 30% and 43% faster than by car. It’s not surprising when you consider that 1 in 10 journeys on the M1 have an average speed of just 37.7mph.
Faster journey times to London
Time is money in business. Now you can enjoy more of both when you travel to London with East Midlands Trains. By introducing a new timetable in December 2008, we reduced journey times to the capital, giving you more time to do business.
We’ve increased punctuality too. In the first four weeks of operating our new timetable, over 95% of London services ran on time. That’s an increase of over 5.5% compared to the same period in 2007/08.
We’ve also invested in a brand new multi-million-pound station, East Midlands Parkway. Now open for business, regular services include two fast trains per hour direct to London St Pancras International, taking just 1 hour and 35 minutes*.
