I'm surprised that Skylink Express doesn't stop at East Midlands Parkway. I know it's been discussed many times before about a lack of a bus service from EMP to the airport and I can fully understand that it is perhaps not viable. However, I would have thought that with some advertising there ought to be a market for travel from Clifton, especially the Nottingham Trent University, to East Midlands Parkway for onward rail travel to London at a shorter journey time than travelling via central Nottingham. East Midlands Parkway to Clifton and Nottingham, or to the Airport alone would not be viable, but when the bus is passing the station on a regular basis I would have thought that a small amount of additional revenue could be made from stopping at the station.
According to the link a couple of posts back, it doesn't stop because of the extra journey time negotiating the rather convoluted access road to the Parkway. Clifton has frequent tram and bus services passing Nottingham station, and I suspect the demographic there isn't one that makes frequent train journeys in any case, so I think a bus link to the Parkway would carry very few passengers.
