Yeah, I have to admit that it is pretty cool, and the trains do come along here quite regularly. In fact, that they come through here regularly is actually pretty cool because it means that I don't get stuck in one place. Also, it is a relatively short walk to the main part of the town.

Negative review for Leicester train station. I love an East Midlands train station as much as the…read morenext man, but this experience really put a disgusting taint on my overall opinion. Me and my mates were on our way back to Cambridge after what I can only describe as a 'mammoth' day out in Wigan, and we had to change in Leicester to get on our penultimate train. Unfortunately, as we were absolutely legging it around the station in order to assure we made our 15-minute connection, we were confronted. Some bloke said that if we didn't get out of his sight then he would 'tonk us to oblivion' and 'smash the ever-living ****' out of us. We felt quite unsafe and two of my friends had to be restrained on platform 3. We resultantly almost missed our train. However, at the end of the day I have been here twice and the first time was bliss. The facilities are good and match the demand given how many major destinations are available to directly travel to. Decent destination, could be more central but obviously can't be moved because that would be arguably overly industrial.

Rivergate shopping Arcade is situated just near the Asda in Peterborough, it is well worth a visit…read moreespecially if you have shopping to do in Asda as you can reclaim your parking fee at Asda checkout. It strikes me as a small but traditional arcade with some nice small shops and some of the better known shops are here. There is a Subway which is great for a bite to eat as well as a 'bistro' style restaurant. There is also an ideal world shop located here. The arcade is nicely laid out and very clean and a pleasure to walk around.

Rivergate shopping centre starts opposite peterborough court and leads through to asda, there are…read morequite a few shops inside rivergate and these include: £1 store, comet, peacocks, iceland, george, kempston shoe shop, a bridal wear shop, italian restaurant, coffee shop, hairdressers and then through to asda and then pets at home is a short walk from there. There is a large car park outside asda and a bus route just outside the court so rivergate is very easy to access. I find rivergate a great place to shop as there is a wide choice of shops to visit in such a small location. The italian restaurant is lovely and asda also has a restaurant above it so there is plenty of food outlets to choose if you dont want to walk too far. I find rivergate great if your doing a grocery shop and would like to look at a few clothes shops at the same time and it save the hustle and bustle of the main town centre. Rivergate is a great little place to visit and I would recommend it to anyone.

Situated on the edge of East Midlands Airport, just along the road from the Donnington Motor…read moreMuseum, the East Midlands Aeropark is a great place for a visit. There is a free carpark, and entry to the site is just £2 for adults, u16s free. There are many static displays of both military and commercial aircraft, some of which you can often look around inside. There is also an indoor exhibit area, large picnic area, toilets and some catering. But the best bit as far as the kids are concerned is the viewing mound. Sited right next to one of the runways, you can regularly see planes taking off and coming in to land. The site is wheelchair/buggy accessible (although parts can get a bit boggy if it's been wet). It is only open on certain days, so it's worth checking the website before going.

This is a really cool shopping mall with all the stores you would expect and some wicked ones on…read morethe walkway that you wouldn't - I stumbled across a wooden stand which had some fabulous items! As you would expect, its all clean, well maintained but unless you are used to it, it was a bit confusing, signs weren't brilliant in large crowds. Theres plenty of parking and entrances taking you into the lovely market town of Banbury. Recommended for your weekend browsing!!!

I think this is reputed to be one of the safest carparks you can ever park in. I certainly agree…read more They can happily boast about: no car theft no theft of contents from vehicles no vandalism or graffiti no vagrants, drug abuse or muggings, since opening 1998. Access to the carpark is as normal, through a barrier where you are issued a ticket. As you drive in and around, you notice yellow boxes attached to the floor, and a number on the wall of each bay. So park up and take note of the number of your bay. Before you leave the carpark, there are a few machines on the wall for you to secure your bay. Just type in your bay number, insert your ticket and the sensor under the car now detects that it is secure. Any movement of your car will now get flagged up in the control room. And on your return, as soon as you insert your ticket to pay for your stay, it releases your bay. Access to the whole carpark is very secure, as you can only get into the building with a ticket, and the gates where you drive in and out only open on arrival and close as soon as you're through. There are also panic buttons and cctv. The location is great aswell. Its not that close to the Westfield centre but its close to the Cathedral Quarter and I always use this place when on an alcohol-free night out! The cost might be slightly more than the average, but I don't mind paying that for the security it offers. For me, the type of person who goes back to check the front doors locked about 3 times, I do really like this carpark. It does feel very safe.

Stated as the safest carpark in the country, Park Safe is located slightly on the outskirts of town…read morenear the Magistrates Court and Queens leisure centre. As you enter the carpark, you take a ticket from the machine and gates open. You chose your parking spacce & there is an option to enter your bay into a machine which activates an alarm should your car be moved without deactivating the alarm. When you return to your car, you have to have a ticket to get into the building. You pay for your ticket at the machine and locate your car. As you reach the exit, you put the ticket into the machine and a gate will open for you to drive out. Prices to park are reasonable & about the going rate in Derby, with the additional advantage of peace of mind, knowing its nearly impossible for anyone to break in or steal your car whilst shopping! The only disadvantage I can think is that it is located the other side of town from the Westfields centre, which means you often have to walk a long way to reach Derby's main attractions.
