It's 89 minutes minimum from Derby to London. The fastest trains stop once, in Leicester.

It's also £135 off-peak return, so a night out in Birmingham might be more appealing.

Fair enough, looks like the non-stop train doesn't exist any more. Shame, it was 1hr and 5mins when it existed! Still, 1hr 29mins is still not 'middle of nowhere' territory, so I'll stick with my original point ;)

Pints are about a quarter the price too!
