walking is the cheapest way, takes around 11 hours though at normal walking pace.

walk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

There does come a point at which "cheapest way" is no longer preferable. For most people, walking is well past that point; but you cannot dispute that it is the cheapest. All it costs is a pair of new trainers every few months.

 

There is probably a bus route available, changing at Chesterfield - but again, the time it takes would probably outweight any potential cost saving. Remember that if you take an extra hour to do something in order to save five pounds, you are working for less than the national minimum wage.

If for some reason you're determined to get a bus, you can change in Chesterfield, but it'll take you over two hours that way.

43/44/44A/X17 to Chesterfield then Red Arrow to Derby.

Actually, hitch-hiking is the cheapest way. Just hold up a big sign, and eventually someone will pick you up. Good luck!

Depends where you are in Sheffield and where you need to go in derby. If you live close to the train station and your final destination is close to the station, a train would probably be better.

 

If you aren't close to train stations and live close to the m1, and there is free/cheap parking get a teeny tiny fuel efficient, low car tax motor and drive.

 

I'd generally try and drive anyway, but as others have mentioned it's worth factoring in how long you are going hanging around bus stops and train stations to save a few pound a week.
