Sparkle Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Does anybody use East Midlands Parkway? - seriously whenever I use the train it stops there and no one gets on or off - I know of little reason to consider using it for those living in and around Derby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chellaston Ram Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 I’ve only ever used it once, it was when Derby played away at the $hity ground there was a mixture of Derby and Forest fans but no trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean (hick) Saunders Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Used the car park once to get a lift to Oxford from someone who lives in Notts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've used it a few times, to and from matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn’t that the point of a parkway. Like Luton airport parkway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaspode Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 I’ve used it a couple of times on trips to London - it’s ok but there are a limited number of trains that stop there on the way back from the smoke, so not as convenient if you’re travelling at rush hour. Seem to remember parking was significantly cheaper than at Derby station and time wise there wasn’t a huge difference for me as I live on the south edge of the city - probably be better now that junction 24 has been sorted out and (I assume) there aren’t the enormous queues at the end of the A50 every morning…..

The day we lose at home to Yeovil after winning the away leg is the day you win any playoff argument. May be a while.

Guess that's the perils of only making it as far as the semi's... the anniversaries just pass you by, what with them being somewhat insignificant. uttoxram75, Gee SCREAMER !!, Premier ram and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the terrible old days of nationalised rail twas free on the basis you were already being hosed for the price of a train ticket.......🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
