National Express coach travel to Nottingham

Our partnership with Nottingham Trent University means travelling from the airport is easy! Board your coach at Heathrow Airport and travel directly to the centre of Nottingham for free.

How to book your travel

  • Select your pick-up location (Heathrow Airport) and date of travel using the above journey planner. We recommend booking a direct service and wouldn't recommend choosing a journey via London as you will have to change coaches (which may be more difficult with luggage).
  • Choose the time you would like to travel. You will need to leave plenty of time between when your plane is due to land and your coach's departure time.
  • To continue with your reservation click 'Checkout as Guest' and complete the 'Your details' section. Please note - you will not be charged for the coach journey if you are a confirmed new student of Nottingham Trent University, however if you add any 'Extras' this will be charged for at checkout.
  • If you are bringing a guest, please ask them to go to the National Express website separately and book a ticket as they will be required to pay.
  • Enter your name and email address to receive your e-ticket via email.
  • Please read the terms and conditions, see below for more details.

If you have any questions about our airport transfer service or your arrival to Nottingham Trent University, please contact international@ntu.ac.uk with your full name and student ID number using the subject line 'National Express booking query'.
