The fact that the coaches don't have a half hour detour into airports en route makes them quicker city to city than National Express.

Although NX does run quite a few airport specific services like the 230 and 240.

exactly

IIRC Derby is best because of proximity of the Station to the Bus stop , Leicester and loughborough require either a second bus journey or a bit of a hike to the bus stop for the skylink

I believe Long Eaton is best if you're on a train stopping there

Long Eaton ought to be best as the bus goes under the station bridge and stops nearby. It is also a shorter bus journey than Derby or Nottingham. Although National Rail hasn't been updated, the station also now has step-free access via lifts.

With reference to the OP, I can't see how it's misleading.
It *is* very handy for the airport, it's less than a fiver in a cab. It's surely a lot more handy than any of the alternatives, which would cost more to connect to the airport?.

Not at all if travelling from Sheffield which is, apparently, the audience to whom the flyer is targeted. As I alluded to, the connection from Derby is effectively 'free'.
