Again, check out Peoria Charter Coach, Phone:  (800) 488-0572, www.peoriacharter.com.  It charges $38 one-way and $76 round-trip and operates from the Transit Center at the Amtrak station in Normal.  The last bus of the day leaves for Chicago at 7:00 PM.  It arrives at O'Hare at 9:45 PM and continues to Midway.
