The "new" train takes around 2h20/2h30 IIRC (because it's an extension of a Derby - London train that stops at Long Eaton/ Loughborough etc).

Thanks crookes.
I booked this train because it was the cheapest. We normally go to london to visit someone in the car, but parking is a hassle, so we thought we would try using the train. It cost £100 for two adult return tickets and it will cost around £20 for travel from st pancras to the district we want. It's a dear do! Especially when the equivalent petrol is only about £40-50.
Although when driving I like to spend a little less time there as I want to get the driving out of the way on the way back so I can get ready for work and have a good night's sleep. Whereas using the train and tubes means we can have a drink and a look around some of london as we go....
