Try looking in traveline

Answer 3

Ok i looked into this because i'm from near St.Ives,

The closest railway station to Heanor is  2km down the hill at Langley Mill on the line between Nottingham and Alfreton

She will need to get the train at Lanley Mill to Huntingdon because

St.Ives does not have a train station, it will take roughly 2 hours and a half.

She will need to change trains at Peterborough and get on a train to Huntingdon, this will only take 20 minutes tops.

Once in huntingdon she will need to go to the bus station and get on the bus to St.Ives.
