Nottingham’s railway is undergoing its biggest transformation in a generation.  A major improvement scheme is currently ongoing to redevelop Nottingham station into a world-class transport hub, and Network Rail will shortly begin work on a £100 million project to rebuild the rail infrastructure around the city.  This scheme will help to future-proof Nottingham’s railway for the increasing number of passengers and deliver improved reliability.

Network Rail is proposing to build the new station as part of its commitment to increase capacity on the railway and deliver better facilities for passengers in Medway and Kent. The new station, which is planned for land at Corporation Street, is part of a wider £135m investment programme in the county by Network Rail as the number of passengers using the railway continues to grow.

Passengers at Reading now have a bigger, better station after Network Rail successfully completed the first part of an 11-day programme of upgrades over the Easter weekend.

The Rail Delivery Group, which is the leadership group for Britain’s railway industry, has expressed its support for the Government’s publication of the franchising programme, which has been announced today.

Passengers in Reading are being asked to prepare themselves for 10 days of changes to train services as their new station arrives this Easter.

A dedicated police response vehicle is being used across south and west London to help reduce disruption to passengers caused by emergency incidents on the railway.
