This is the airport's website. That should give most of the information you will need :-

The new East Midlands Parkway railway station opened today. Located just off the M1 and just a few miles from EMA it will be served by 100 trains a day. A shuttle bus will operate from the station to EMA and so will be an alternative to the bus service from Nottingham or Leicester stations. News story here:-

It's also featured at http://parkwaystation.co.uk/EMTrains/Parkway where there are details of an offer for £5 tickets to London for travel until 26th March.
Anyone using the dreadful http://www.Nationalrail.co.uk journey planner can save typing by using the station code of EMD in the appropriate box. If they ever get round to loading the bus times into the database the airport itself is XMT.

i know your not allowed to take liquids into airports, but what about food, ive just heard what meal we will likely be having and sounds revolting, could i take sandwiches from home into the airport and then onto the plane?
Yes, Most airlines allow you to take your own food on-board. As for liquids you can take any on-board and consume any non-alcoholic liquids you have bought after the security point.
dcoops,
You can take food items through security for consumption on aircraft. Airlines have no problem in you taking your own packed lunches. There are restrictions on importing certain food items in to some countries so it must be obvious it is for consumption during the flight. For more information on taking things in hand luggage, refer to our dedicated Hand Luggage thread. There are strict restrictions on liquids. These are best purchased once through security or onboard the aircraft (cheaper in the airport!).

does anyone know how long car park 7 will be shut for, booked a space there in a few weeks and web site says to be redirected to cp6, will there be enough space and have they stopped takeing bookings
According to the website CP7 is shut for essential maintenance - I would have thought that anything more than a couple of weeks would require the airport to plan in advance, so I wouldn't worry too much. You could always try phoning to see if they have an estimated end date. The number for the airport is 0871 919 9000, but I'm not sure if that covers the car parks as well. Don't know if they are still taking bookings, try doing a fake booking on the website and see what it says.
Reading through this, I've not been much help... sorry!

Anybody know when the Ryanair 'bag drop' process gets introduced at EMA - thought it was around now but keen to find out when, we fly next Tuesday and unusually will be taking a suitcase with us to checkin so will have to go through this procedure.
Thanks, Chris
Thanks, Chris
Hi Chris .... from tomorrow (1 October) check-in desks will no longer be available at any Ryanair airport, leaving passengers with checked luggage to use the bag drop desks.

Thanks David. Hopefully by next week any initial problems, should there be any, will have been resolved. Well here's hoping !
