Sheffield to London Trains From €26.72*

Take the train from Sheffield to London with East Midlands Railway (EMR) for a comfortable direct route from South Yorkshire to the capital.

Are East Midlands Railway First Class tickets worth it?

Whether First Class tickets are a good value to you depends on your travel preferences and expectations. For more spacious and private carriages, East Midlands Railway First Class excels. Upgrading to First Class also means you’ll get power sockets and free WiFi, while complimentary food is available from Monday to Saturday. If you can secure First Class seats at a good price, it could be an excellent investment to add some luxury to your trip south.

Does EMR offer enough luggage space?

You can bring up to two bags on East Midlands Railway trains. When travelling to a long weekend in the capital, this may not seem like enough. Note that the largest suitcase should not measure more than 90 x 70 x 30 cm, as space on end-of-aisle luggage racks can be limited. Smaller bags can comfortably be stored in overhead compartments.
