Getting around the county...
Dedicated bus networks enable you to make more of what the county has to offer. Whether you are going to a market, going out on a Sunday or looking for places to visit, it’s all accessible by bus. A wide range of leisure and other local bus services have been designed to improve access to the attractions and other facilities available in Nottinghamshire. These include services into Sherwood Forest as well as rural bus services between Retford and Newark and Newark and Bingham. All day tickets are available on Sundays across the county and every day within Nottingham. These tickets are accepted by all operators and offer more opportunities for travel.
Robin Hood Line...
The Robin Hood line is major success story in rail travel. It was originally opened as a result of a jointly funded scheme by Nottinghamshire County Council, Derbyshire County Council and Nottingham City Council with assistance from the Strategic Rail Authority.
The line is now being operated on a commercial basis by Central Trains and provides a link between Worksop in the north of the county and Nottingham in the south via Mansfield. The councils are still involved as they provide an annual subsidy to ensure that fare levels remain low to provide affordable travel. In addition to being an important commuter service, used by over 3,500 people a day, the line also offers access to a number of attractions in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire.
