英国各大机场如何到莱斯特的方式路线

lulu

非常全面和详细的介绍，最下面还有详细公交和大巴站的位置和时刻联接

Here are details of how to get from various UK airports to Leicester. It is easiest by train or coach, although we also provide directions if you are hiring a car. Train ticket pricing in the UK is highly complicated (deliberately, so as to make you part with as much money as possible). We advise you to book in advance through your travel agent if you can, and/or to travel after 9.30am in the morning. But always make sure your ticket is valid for the train you are catching, or you will be charged a lot extra by the ticket inspectors.
