For Nottingham generally we recommend the Skylink Express to Nottingham; for Leicester the answer changes.
The cheapest way in. Nothing listed is quicker.
Boards at. The coach station next to the terminal, bay B
No more than £3 for an adult single under England's bus fare cap, which falls to £2 on 1 January 2027. Pay by contactless tap on and off, or cash to the driver. Children 10 and under pay £1 by day; under-fives travel free.
The ways are still here — your budget or journey-time filter is drawn tighter than any of them. Widen either one, or reset the filters, to bring them back.
The same Skylink runs the other way from bay B to Loughborough and Leicester St Margaret's Bus Station, round the clock: 48 to 71 minutes, up to every 15 minutes by day, hourly at night. An adult single is no more than £3.
