Here you will find all operators and timetables for a Bus from Luton to Nottingham

What are the most popular stations in Luton and Nottingham?

In Luton, you will usually depart from Bus Station, Central Station or Interchange, while in Nottingham you will be arriving at Central Station, Beeston Centre or Bulwell Tram Stop, but there are many more stops to explore in both locations.

How do I decide? Some tips and tricks from our experience

Are you having trouble deciding on how to get to Nottingham from Luton? With 5 connections between 4 Bus, Train and Carpool operators, it can be difficult to find the one ride that will make you happy. But we have some tips that can help you make the best informed decision. First of all, the best trip is always the one that meets all your needs, so make a list of all the things that you want from this journey and look for something that will satisfy all of them. Here we will go through some of the factors mostly commonly taken into consideration.

Look for the lowest price

Ticket price is usually the main concern: even if you can afford to pay more, why do it if there are cheaper options? Saving on the trip means that you can spend more on the vacation itself! Between Luton and Nottingham, you can pay as low as $13 with a Bus from FlixBus.

Travel duration

Time is also an important factor. An earlier departure may allow you to see a beautiful sunset or relax before an important event. And remember, time is money, so paying more for a shorter trip may be well worth it. For longer distances, flights are without doubt the best options, but be mindful of airport times and possible delays: a high-speed train may end up cheaper and faster! Here the quicker option is definitely the Train from East Midlands Railway: you will get to Nottingham in just 1h 28m.

Comfort makes all the difference
