Nottingham railway station, for some time known as Nottingham Midland or Nottingham City, is the principal railway station of the city of Nottingham and the Greater Nottingham area. It is served by East Midlands Trains, CrossCountry and Northern Rail; prior to 11 November 2007, it was served by Midland Mainline and Central Trains.

History [edit]

The first station [edit]

Main article: Nottingham Carrington Street railway station

The first station in Nottingham was Nottingham Carrington Street railway station opened in May 1839 when the Midland Counties Railway opened the line from Nottingham to Derby and closed in 1848. This terminus station was situated on the west side of Carrington Street on the site now occupied by Nottingham Magistrates' Court. The original station gate posts still exist and form the pedestrian entrance to the Magistrates' Courts area.

The second station [edit]

In 1844 the Midland Counties Railway merged with two others into the Midland Railway and by 1848 it had outgrown this station and new lines to Lincoln had been opened. A new through station (1848–1903) was opened on Station Road on 22 May and was designed by the architect J E Hall of Nottingham. In the 1880s Nottingham station employed 170 men. Although attractive when it first opened, by the early 1900s the station was cramped, with only three platforms. A locomotive derailment knocked down a cast iron pillar, which brought down part of the train shed. This and the new Victoria station putting the Midland Railway to shame finally resulted in a scheme to re-build and expand.

In 1869 the Midland Railway purchased the West Croft Canal arm, filling it and building additional parallel tracks to south.[1]

Current building [edit]

When the Great Central Railway opened its Victoria Station in 1900, the Midland Railway appointed Albert Edward Lambert,[2] a local Nottingham architect, to rebuild the Midland station. Lambert had been the architect for the Nottingham Victoria railway station and consequently the two buildings shared many similarities in their design.

Platforms 1b and 2 towards the east of the station

The station was re-built largely on the same site as the Station Street station, but the entrance was relocated onto Carrington Street.

The first contract for the station buildings was awarded to Edward Wood and Sons of Derby on 23 January 1903, who were also awarded the contract for the buildings on platforms 1 and 2 on 16 September 1903. The contract for the buildings on platforms 4 and 5 was awarded to Kirk, Knight & Co of Sleaford on 18 June 1903, who were also responsible for building the parcels office (Forward House) on Station Street, which opened in November 1903. The structural steelwork and cast-ironwork was done by Handyside & Co. and the Phoenix Foundry, both of Derby.

The station was built in an Edwardian Baroque Revival style at a cost of £1 million (£79,620,000 as of 2013),[3] and was described by the Evening News on the eve of its opening (16 January 1904) as a magnificent new block of buildings.

The station was built using a mix of red brick, terracotta (which was used as a substitute for building stone) and faience (a glazed terracotta) with slate and glazed pitch roofs over the principal buildings. The carriage entrances have Art Nouveau wrought-iron gates

The station’s forebuildings were opened to passengers without any formal ceremony on 17 January 1904, although next day the Evening News reported that the platforms were still in a state of chaos and these were not expected to be ready for another nine months. However it did consider that ‘the result promises to be the provision for Nottingham of one of the most commodious and most convenient passenger stations in the country’.

The day began with the closure of the booking offices in the old station after the last tickets were issued for the 5:25 am London train and the new booking offices were opened in time to issue tickets for the 6:25 am Erewash Valley train. No attempt was made to exclude the public from the building and many took the opportunity to view the new station buildings. The Evening News commented on the public’s admiration of the style and elegance of the station approaches and booking hall and went on to describe the day’s events. In the morning, local juveniles swarmed into the station and spent their time playing boisterous games and dodging the duty policeman. Then later in the day, when the juveniles had finally been excluded, many top-hatted gents and their ladies came to promenade, no doubt adding some decorum to the proceedings, and to look at the architecturally pleasing buildings and general satisfaction was expressed. Finally as evening approached the gates were closed and none but passengers were allowed inside.

Lincoln – Derby train in 1957

The Midland Railway always suffered the indignity that its rival the Great Central Railway crossed the top of Nottingham Midland station on a 170-foot-long (52 m) bowstring girder bridge. This became redundant in 1967 and was finally dismantled in the early 1980s. Plans exist to build a new tramway bridge over the station on the same alignment.

Other Nottingham stations [edit]

The Great Central Railway station was Nottingham Victoria. The Great Northern Railway stations were the high level and low level stations in London Road. For a brief period (1967–1969) Nottingham Victoria station having closed, the service from Nottingham to Rugby Central used a reopened Arkwright Street station (previously closed in 1963).

Nottingham station today [edit]

222103 departs with an East Midlands Trains service to London St Pancras.

The station has six platforms. Platforms 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6 are halved into A and B to accommodate two trains on each platform.

Platform 1 is used mainly for trains to Lincoln Central. Semi-fast services from London St Pancras terminate at this platform. Some CrossCountry trains services to Birmingham New Street and Cardiff Central call at the platform also.

Platform 2 is a bay platform at the eastern end of the station which accommodates terminating trains from Newark and Grantham directions but mainly the hourly East Midlands Trains (EMT) service to Skegness via Boston.

Platform 3 is used by a variety of services, EMT local trains to Derby & Matlock, long distance EMT services to Norwich via Grantham, Peterborough, Ely & Thetford, early morning EMT services to London St. Pancras and Northern Rail services to Leeds via Sheffield & Barnsley.

Platform 4 is mainly used for the EMT fast service to London St. Pancras via Leicester and Market Harborough, including EMT local services to Mansfield Woodhouse and Worksop.

Platform 5 is commonly used for trains to Liverpool Lime Street, calling at Alfreton, Chesterfield, Sheffield, Stockport, Manchester Piccadilly, Manchester Oxford Road, Warrington Central, Widnes and Liverpool South Parkway and by CrossCountry trains to Birmingham New Street.

Platform 6 is commonly used for Ivanhoe Line trains to Leicester and also by certain Birmingham and Cardiff CrossCountry trains.

Station Street tram stop is connected to the station concourse via a pedestrian bridge. The station has the PlusBus scheme where train and bus tickets can be bought together at a saving. It is in the same area as Attenborough, Beeston, Bulwell, Netherfield and Carlton stations.

2010s Redevelopment [edit]

There are plans to redevelop the station which include more shops and Nottingham Express Transit trams running over the top of the station.[4][5] At the start of 2010 the East Midlands Development Agency stated that they would contribute £9.5 million out of the required £67 million.[6]

As part of remodelling the station, there are plans to redevelop and refurbish it. The first refurbishment is to reconstruct the railway bridge. It was refurbished with repainting and stronger supports. It cannot be demolished because it is a Grade II* listed building.[7] Next was to construct a First Class lounge. It was constructed by Network Rail and funded by East Midlands Trains and Nottingham City Council. It was opened on 14 December 2008, when the timetable change commenced. Nottingham City Council planned to construct a multi-storey car park. There were protests not to construct the car park because of taking natural light from the station. Plans were to reconstruct the whole station. This includes the ticket office, main concourse and the platforms. The council want to call the station The Hub. During May 2009, work started to construct automatic ticket gates at Nottingham station. As of late 2009 Nottingham is a Penalty fare station.

Station Masterplan [edit]

In 2001 the architects Building Design Partnership (BDP) were appointed as the lead consultants,[8]:3[9][10][11] using the same team which had redeveloped Manchester Piccadilly based on an estimate of £550,000[8]:4 and in cooperation with Posford Rail, MVA, Jones Lang LaSalle and Bovis Lend Lease.[11] Nottingham City Council had a working budget of £1.01 million for development of the masterplan and building of the business case.[8] Network Rail initially contributed £40,000;[8]:4 with the East Midlands Development Agency expected to provide £485,000; Nottingham City Council £364,000 and Nottingham County Council £121,000.[8]:5

BDP engaged Tuffin Ferraby Talyor to undertaken surveys of all elements of the station dating from before 1918.[2] As well as an integrated NET tram station above platform 6,[14]:5 the masterplan included an additional concourse,[15] and safeguarding for an additional platform.[14]:5

Car park [edit]

A new multi-storey car park (MSCP) was constructed between Platform 6 and Queen's Road, over the western half of the station's existing car park.[16] The car park was built by Vinci Construction.[17] Work began in March 2011 and a ceremony to mark the commencement was held on 7 March 2011.[16] The car park was officially opened on 14 May 2012[18] having been available since 11 May 2012.[19]

The initial car park design had been put on hold during 2008 after being described as a "chicken coop".[20][21] The final design for the car park has 2,107 coloured metal sheets on the outside, formed of 2.1-millimetre-thick copper and stainless steel (1.5 mm stainless, 0.6 mm "Luvata" Copper).[21][22] These panels are fixed to the MSCP using 8000 cleats fixed to pre-cast channels in the concrete structure.[22] The new car park building has five storeys[23] and was designed to have space for 950 cars.[24] The previous car park held 500 cars[25] and was closed in January 2011.[26]

Tram bridge [edit]

The Nottingham Express Transit tram line was planned to cross the station on the line of the original Great Central Railway viaduct that had been closed in the 1970s.[14]:8[27][28]

Supports for new tram bridge; Constructed bridge awaiting sliding into position

Construction of the tram bridge started work on 10 April 2012.[29] The tram bridge design is a Warren truss design made of 508-to-711-millimetre (20 to 28 in) diameter steel tubes.[30]:6 The main bridge is 14.530 metres (48 ft) wide between the truss centrelines, with two equal spans of 52.120 metres (171 ft) each.[30]:6 Walkways 2.4 to 3.0 metres (8 to 10 ft) wide will run down each side of the tram tracks.[30]:2 The final linked sequence of three bridge structures will take the tram route over Station Street, the railway station itself, and over Queen's Road.[31]

The Hub [edit]

On 31 July 2009 the then Transport Minster Sadiq Khan gave conditional approval to the city council providing their contribution via a Workplace Parking Levy.[32] At the start of 2010 the East Midlands Development Agency (EMDA) stated that they would contribute £9.5 million out of the intended £67 million.[6] Plans were unveiled by junior government minister Norman Baker on 5 October 2010.[33][34][35] The plans would result in the release of railway-related brownfield land around the station itself to allow for 16,000 square metres (170,000 sq ft) of mixed-use space redevelopment.[33]

The EMDA had to reduce their contribution after central government funding cuts.[34] The final funding was reorganised to be £60 million: Network Rail contributing £41 million, Nottingham City Council £14.8 million, EMDA £2.1 million, East Midlands Trains £1.6 million, plus the Rail Heritage Trust giving £0.5 million.[17][34]

Under the scheme, the station's porte-cochère will be made vehicle-free,[17] and restoration of the Grade II* listed buildings on the site will take place.[17] In January 2013 the booking office will be renovated, followed by the station platform canopies from June 2013.[17] Other non-public facilities and storage spaces costing £7.1 million have been postponed.[34]

Remodelling [edit]

Schemes costing £19 million (in 2007) and then £14 million (in 2008) were proposed.[36]:1. Remodelling and re-signalling costing £11.6 million was approved on 15 May 2009 by the Network Rail Investment Board,[37] and will take place as part of Control Period 4 (CP4) running from 1 April 2009 to 31 March 2014.[38] Nottingham station will be partially closed for ten weeks during 2013 for the track and signalling work.[39] During the blockade, the western end of the station will be closed to trains for 37 days and 10 days for the eastern end.[40]

Platform 4 will be split and stepped out part way along its length to create two platforms allowing simultaneous movement of trains and increased capacity.[41][42] The new bay platform will be able to hold a six-carriage train.[43]:140 All four tracks at the western end will have bi-directional railway signalling allowing a better choice of non-conflicting routes.[41] These lines will be referred to as Line A, Line B, Line C and Line D.[44]:61 Although all lines will be directional, their intended use will be segregated, with services towards Sheffield and Mansfield focused on the northern pair of tracks, and services to Derby and Leicester focused on the southern pair of tracks.[38][43]:140 Line-speeds for trains arriving from Chesterfield and the Robin Hood Line will be increased from 35 miles per hour (56 km/h) to 50 miles per hour (80 km/h).[41] On 7 March 2012 Network Rail requested formal "network change" acceptance from the train operating companies.[43][45]

Change in platform numbering and lengths after remodelling[44]:77
Platform number previous 1 2 3 4 5 6
Platform length Steady409 Steady82 Steady409 Steady373 Steady372 Steady285
Platform number post-2013 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Platform length Decrease343 Increase90 Decrease296 Decrease112 Decrease150 Decrease290 Decrease268

On-site preparation works were scheduled to begin in September 2011, with all new signal structures installed by June 2013 followed by the "Nottingham blockade" itself lasting from July 2013, until handover in September 2013.[43]:141 The work is spread from Beeston, past Mansfield Junction, Nottingham West Junction and to Nottingham East Junction.[43]:140 The blockade is designed to cover renewing 5.9 kilometres (3.7 mi) of track and adding or renewing 14 sets of pointwork.[43]:140

Footbridge [edit]

The station as viewed from the car park to the south.

Halfway along the platforms is an overhead footbridge running from Station Street (at the north) and the tram stop link, over station platforms 1–5 to platform 6 and car parking facilities at Queen's Road (at the south).[14]:2 The footbridge carries Footpath 28, the only traffic-free crossing over the Midland Main Line in Nottingham.[46]:4 Footpath 28 was previously diverted from the demolished footbridge 21 to the present footbridge 20B during the 1990s. The original route formed part of the "Trent Bridge Footway"[46]:4 carrying the public between the centre of Nottingham and the river crossing at Trent Bridge. In 2004 Nottingham City Council stated that right of way over the footbridge would be closed following the completion of a multi-storey car park.[14]:4

Alternative pavement improvement works were scheduled for Queens Road in February 2009.[36]:2 During 2008–2012 BPR Architects submitted designs for automated ticket gate (ATG) barrier installations at St Pancras, Sheffield, Derby, Nottingham station concourse plus both ends of Nottingham footbridge 20B.[47]:2[48] BPR's design included four ATG barriers on the north end of the footbridge itself plus a new enclosure and four barriers between the car park and platform 6 at the south end.[49][50] A procedure to permanently stop-up the right-of-way commenced on 19 March 2010,[46]:1 A planning application for barriers was filed on 29 March 2010 and withdrawn again on 10 May 2010.[51] Following a public inquiry held during 8–9 November 2011, the stopping up order was denied; the inspector summing up:[46]:8[52][53]

“ Footpath 28 is unique and offers an experience which the alternative, replacement, route cannot – a traffic free route within the city which in addition provides a convenient link for a large number of users to and from residential areas, work places and other facilities. It provides a short but valued opportunity for pedestrians to get away from trafficked routes, with the added amenity value of an historic environment. On balancing the merits and demerits of the stopping up order, I find that the disadvantages and loss likely to arise as a result of the stopping up of the footpath to members of the public generally are such that permanent closure of Footpath 28 to the public is not justified. Thus I conclude that the Order should not be confirmed. ”

—Susan Doran BA Hons MIPROW, Inspector appointed by the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, Decision Notice §44, 13 December 2011[46]:8

Services [edit]

Network Rail plan to spend £100m on track improvement schemes on the Midland Main Line, which will cut the journey time from 104 minutes to 90 minutes by 2011 between London and Nottingham.[54]

Current off-peak services from the station include:

There is also an early morning service in one direction only to Bournemouth via Birmingham New Street, Reading and Southampton provided by CrossCountry. This service departs at 06:37.

Glasgow Trains are looking into possibilities of running a direct service from Nottingham to Glasgow Central. Their plans have yet to be approved, however.
