What comment were you expecting? A minicab is still a taxi and that car
is still a prius.

A minicab is a private hire vehicle, not a taxi.

Don't split hairs, normal people know them as cabs or taxis.

Whatever. From my house I can be halfway there by car in the time it would
take me to get to St P by foot and tube and buy a ticket.

Perhaps you are in north London then? Hendon to Nottingham is about 2hrs
20mins by car (assuming you don't hit a jam on the way into the City
Centre), so you are 70 minutes from StP. Maybe a car to Luton Parkway,
then catch the train from there?

Or maybe I could just stay in my nice cosy car and carry on past junction 10.
I did on occasion use the MML P&R from ratcliff but the trains were infrequent
and it was about 7 quid return, however the tram P&R is good and I'll probably
use that again next time.

The centre isn't accessible by private car.

The victoria centre is about 300m from the market square.

Yes, I lived in Nottingham for eight years.

Odd how you forgot about the city's largest shopping centre & car park then.

Perhaps you
should do some simple homework before posting.

So should you. You'll walk past a couple of hackney ranks en-route.

Strangely I decided to walk inside the centre, not outside it.

Three, ranking right outside the Victoria centre. ObRail, on the site of
the old Victoria Station.
