You don't say what time. I can get it for £10.60 departing Nottingham at 13.28 and London at 13.15

If the £25 you found are advance fares you want to book through www.eastmidlandstrains.co.uk (http://www.eastmidlandstrains.co.uk) which will give you a little bit of a discount on the advance fares.

If you are prepared to sacrifice flexibility, there are advance singles from £5:95 each way, leaving Nottingham at 12:28 or 13:28 and returning from London at 13:15. You would have to travel on those specific trains.

Snap !!

ideally leaving nottingham early and then leaving london about 4pm as its sight seeing with my under 5yr old

should add im after direct trains only as its just so much easier with a little one!
