Departing from Nottingham station
- Navigating the station: The station’s main entrance is on the Carrington Street overbridge, and all 7 platforms are located below street level. You can reach the platforms via stairs, escalators or lifts. There is also a centre footbridge, but bear in mind that access to this is restricted between 19:00 and 06:00 for safety reasons – during these hours, you’ll need to use the main station entrance.
- Finding your platform: Nottingham to London trains usually depart from Platform 7: a long side platform situated on the southern end of the station. Please check the departure boards to be certain of your platform though, as these can always change.
- Carriage zones: Platforms at Nottingham are long and usually split into zones (7a, 7b etc.). Intercity trains to London usually take up the full length of the platform, so these zones will normally help you find where to board your carriage.
