It looks to be 0.4 mile to the railway station, so let's spend 9 minutes walking there. We can then board 2K25, East Midlands Railway's 1847 service towards Peterborough, which we take as far as Spalding, where we arrive at 2030 on Thursday evening.

We find out that there are no more trains to Nottingham on Thursday 11th November, but decide to wait out at Lincoln for the EMR Rail Replacement bus service to Nottingham departing at 0001 arriving into Nottingham at 0218
Technically this is a "STP" schedule which I believe can't be used. If you're wanting to travel to Nottingham then you can use the 0518 train departure on a Friday morning.

Edited to the official timetable if the train was to run.

No, we posted at the same time! But it's all good as there's a 0717 29 to Leicester arriving at 0842, so we can still use Andy's service to Ellis wherever it was :)
Love it when it all works out like that!

Next we take the 1103 Centrebus (North) service 40 to Crown Hills (General Hospital), arriving at 1153 on Friday morning.
