How good are your hill starts?
As well as having to take care of the gradient (about 1 in 6), you have to find your way into the generally heavy traffic on Porchester Road.

Once St Ann's Well Station Master's House
The Victorian house on the right was originally the home of the station master at St Ann's Well on the Nottingham Suburban Railway (1889-1951). The station, of which there is now no trace, was largely on a wide embankment behind the council houses further down the hill, and the railway crossed The Wells Road a little way to the south on a high lattice girder bridge. The NSR (operated by the Great Northern) lost its passenger service in 1916 in face of competition from the city's trams, but the goods yard continued to supply coal merchants and serve the Somnus bed company until closure. The NSR was promoted by the owners of the Nottingham Patent Brick Company and the house is built of red bricks and terra cotta tiles from its brickyards at Thorneywood and Mapperley. (A more celebrated station built of NPBC bricks is St Pancras.) This was one of the more relentlessly rainy mornings of the wet summer of 2012.
