Before you land

The parts people get wrong. Each one links to where we checked it.

  • Hours

    The fastest St Pancras-Leicester journeys take about 1 hour 3 minutes against an average of 1 hour 11 minutes - Leicester sits on the same Midland Main Line as the Nottingham and Sheffield corridors in this file, roughly halfway along it.

  • Easy to get wrong

    Leicester is an intermediate stop for most Nottingham- and Sheffield-bound trains, not only a terminating destination - a traveller booked only to Leicester can often catch a wider range of departures than a Leicester-only timetable alone suggests.
