The quickest way onto the M1 from Nottingham is to go to Trowell Service Station. You can get there on the bus "Rainbow 2" which leaves every half an hour from the Victoria Centre bus station. From when you leave the built up area, count 3 bus stops and get off there. Then walk The stop is called Waterloo Lane and it's worth asking the driver if you've not been there before as the bus travels at 60 past it. The ticket is currently (July 2013) £2.60 and is to 'Motorway Bridge'. Walk up the lane Waterloo Lane opposite the bus stop for 10 minutes and you're there. As an alternative to the overpriced Nottingham buses it is fairly easy to thumb a lift on the A52 heading west at one of the areas to pull in after the QMC hospital roundabout.
