Bikes, buses and steam trains
Loughborough’s proximity to Leicester, Nottingham and Derby makes it an ideal town for commuters. You can get a train to Leicester in just 10 minutes, Derby in half an hour and even travel to London in around 1hr 30mins. The town itself is located near the M1, which then links to Leicester, Coventry and Birmingham.
There are several cycle routes in and around town, as well as a regular bus service. But the real highlight is the Great Central Railway - the country’s only mainline heritage railway. This is a steam-operated railway which travels between Leicester and Nottingham. It’s a fun day out for friends and family visiting your new home, or a novel way of travelling from one destination to another.
