It's worse than that, in that it doesn't have a railway station. That's right, a major UK airport that doesn't have a railway station.

The nearest railway station, (which I understand is not on an electrified line) is East Midlands Parkway - 5 miles away and the other side of the M1 motorway (so you're not going to run or walk the distance). Furthermore, no buses operate between the two, so the airport recommends using a taxi.

I appreciate we are some considerable distance 'off-thread', but a well-used passenger airport should not be this unconnected in the 21st century and screams out "just use more oil"
