    If you are incapable of looking up train times on the Internet then I would suggest you won't get the job.

    Hope that helps.

    If you're driving...

    ... the A1 to Newark is easy. After that the A17 and A47 can be moider; not much dual carriageway, so if you get stuck behind lorries or tractors (very likely) it can be ages before you can overtake. I reckon you'd need 6 hours or more.
