Outline:

• A £198 million track & signalling scheme
• The signalling equipment around Derby Station is

nearing the end of its operational life

• The track layout is nearly 50 years old
• Since track & signalling work in unison and so are

being replaced together

• Preparatory work has already begun and as much

work as possible will be done prior to disrupting station users & passengers

• This includes installing 3.5km of track, new signal

bases, drainage, signals & telecoms cabling and construction of a new station platform

Impact on station users/passengers:

• Derby Station will remain open & operational for

majority of 79 days in summer 2018

• We are still a year away from any disruption
• A train & replacement bus plan is being developed
• Network Rail and Train Operators are working together to

ensure key links, such as Derby to London, are maintained wherever possible

• There will be significant communications activity

during the project to keep you informed

• Including an online tool passengers can use to plan around

the disruption
