- A very enjoyable afternoon spent at Derby on the Midland Mainline where we see plenty of services from East Midlands Railway and Cross Country.
Derby has a vat history behind it but I'll try and keep it as brief as possible.
Derby had a station opened by the Midland Counties Railway in 1839 and at the time was even known as a temporary station as plans had already been drawn up for a more contemporary station at a later date.
Then in the very same year another temporary station was opened by the Birmingham and Derby Junction Railway and then one year later another railway station was opened in 1840 and would be the permanent Derby station forcing the other two to close. This was opened by the North Midland Railway.
In 1844 all three railway companies became part of the Midland Railway with the headquarters located at Derby. The North Midlands Railway repair shop and two locomotive sheds became the Midlands main locomotives works as the facilities were already on offer to them.
In 1846 a new spur line was constructed which would allow traffic to run onto the network from the Midland Counties Line, and in 1867 a loop was constructed which would let trains run through the station coming up from London.
The station was given some work in 1858 to increase the capacity, an island platform was created along with the present platforms 2 and 3. In 1881 more work was done which saw the introduction of 3 new platforms, these three new platforms were 260 metres long and 45ft wide. There was a level crossing which gave access to platform one but this was removed and instead replaced by a footbridge linking across all of the platforms. New waiting rooms and refreshment rooms were also installed along with a subway which would allow for luggage to pass under the station much easier than it had been able to do in the past. Additionally all of the signalling for the station and the surrounding area was done by a complex signal box located on the centre platform in the middle of the station.
When it was time for British Railways to come into the light the station was renamed to Derby Midland Station and between the years of 1952 to 1954 the station was completely rebuilt along with the signal box giving it a more modern image for that time of the year. The overall costing for this project back then was £200,000 which in today's money is just a little over £5.6 million.
In 1968 the station was once again renamed and this time it was renamed Derby to all timetables across the UK and destination boards, the following year power signalling was introduced which would allow for trains to enter and leave the station in any direction, much like they do today and of which you will see happening with the Cross Country Turbostars. However I should point out that this is only being done because the line at the northern end of the station going to Spondon Junction via Chaddesden was closed during that time.
As you can see in the film there is new work still taking place and this was because in 2018 the former bay platform which was platform 5 was closed and demolished and replaced with a new island platform, platform 6 was the remembered as platform 5 and the island platform was dubbed platforms 6 and 7.
Joining me today was TrainSpotEast, Richard Chalklin and APT155 so please do go and check out their channels as they all have some excellent content for you.
Last year the station took in just over 4 million people.
My next station is East Croydon on the Brighton Mainline.

glad you like it here I am from Derby
How Derby has changed but good to see more work is underway..Film well put together even though cross country were the dominant classes. Despite this, once again the voiceover is what kept my attention.
This was my first time here and I can safely say I wasn't disappointed. But I'm glad to hear you found this enjoyable
Always nice to see Derby
It's a good station
Nice catch, you always spend alot of time to get these trains for us
Thanks very much, I do try and spend as long as possible at some of the stations that I go to
Another great video. Thanks for posting. Wish you and all the subscribers to your channel a very happy Christmas
Thanks very much, I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas
Nice background history of Derby (Midland); as I remarked about Manchester (Victoria), it’s another station, this time not so vastly changed from what I knew in the 1960s. The old track work seemed to cope with all the passenger, freight and constant light engine workings, but having the Chaddesden approach certainly helped.
This was a great station to come to and I never really knew that there was so much history to this station
I live in Northampton and have never seen an XC train come through. You brain obviously had a glitch for a split second.
I'm always having a glitch haha
Superb video at Derby Station. Have a good Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Thanks very much, Merry Christmas to you and your family and a Happy New Year

Do XC even run to Northampton?? I guess you can kind of tie Newcastle and Southampton central together. Great video mate, and congrats on your 7000 subs again.
They never go there but it would be good to see them going there one day, you never know with the timetable changes. Thanks very much
Great video

Are they getting rid of the 220 and 221 or not
Avanti West Coast are and they will move to CrossCountry
What's all the scaffolding on the platform canopy for? Will it be a spectator space, or a skinny car-park? - - - - Derby has a vat history - lots of breweries, then? :-)
They are currently extending the platform roof
Could you do manchester airport station
I will next year
Can you give me a shout out in the next video
Can you do Nottingham
I will be going there next year
@@Tornado922 thanks for replying looking forward to it
No Nottingham?
No, I had no intentions of filming Nottingham
Derby is my local station
It's a great station
@@Tornado922 It is the best station in the uk
Northampton: Newcastle+Southampton?
The way my mind was operating that day just about anything works
How close is this to Drexel Hill?
The only Drexel Hill I can find is in America
When's the q&a
I think it’s the next video
@@levichalcraft8702 you were correct
I used to like watching your videos but I stopped watching at 20 seconds of this one when I saw "Richard" (Luca) Chalkin mentioned in the description :( I saw you in a photo with Kieran from KTV Videos the other day as well... Why do you hang out with these ignorant and rude (respectively) people...?
Well to be honest I hang out with these people as I like them. They haven't done me any harm at any stage when I've seen them. So if you're choosing to stop watching my content based on the people I choose to meet up with throughout the year then I wish you all the best. I would love to know why you find them rude and arrogant?
Well I don't condone people swearing on my channel either, there is no need for it. So what exactly did he say to you?
You said Northampton because you’re a nutter
I do try
Great video.
Thanks very much
