- at the country's hub
Stapleford,
is near the centre of England & Wales - take a line from Berwick-on-Tweed
to the Isle of Wight and Great Yarmouth on the Norfolk coast to
Holyhead on Anglesey and they cross within a few miles of Stapleford.

the country's transport network hub
It
is also at the centre of Britain's transport network,
and, as far as we can tell, it has been for several thousand years.
The Erewash Valley carries:
- The
M1, Britain's main motorway [Junction 25 for
Stapleford]
- The
mainline railway from London to Sheffield
- The
River Erewash itself of course
- The
Erewash Canal - still in use by narrow-boats
- E
 ast Midlands Airport is 10 minutes drive away
- A
new mainline Parkway Station is planned for Ratcliffe-on-Soar
just 5 miles down the M1
- Toton
Rail Sidings used to be the largest marshalling yard in
Western Europe. Now it is largely unused, although EWS use a
part of it as their main maintenance depot. However there are
plans to turn it back into a major freight station as part of
the Central Railway's proposed Liverpool-London-France route.
This
makes Stapleford
an ideal location for businesses which want to be near
the centre of the country with excellent transport links.
