Derby Resignalling project - Midland Main Line Upgrade
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 авг 2018
- Sunday 22 July saw the start of an 11 week partial closure of Derby station, part of the Midland Main Line Upgrade. Starting south of the station, team orange have been working 24/7 since then, to replace over 2km of track, install 11 sets of points, open a new platform and started on the demolition of platforms in the station. In fact, so much has been going on at the station, we wanted to share progress with you.
The station has remained open throughout the works, albeit with limited services. Work is progressing well and normal service is due to resume on Monday 8 October.

This will make a real positive difference once it is completed. Keep up the good work.
Good to see more upgrading to our railway. This will be our transportation saviour in the years to come as environmental concerns mount up on air travel and car use. I use the railways to get around wherever possible. I also use them to go abroad on holiday, Europe and Asia of course.
Such a good quick move on such a big project
Looking good guys! trying document as much as possible wheneverI pass the station
cant believe how much its goner change ive been gone 3 years since moving to manchester it be good to see the change when its done
Causing some inconvenience but it's looking great!
even though this was a year ago, wow, usually when track renewall weather is usually rain.
Wow looks like a total rebuild just for resignalling! Great job.
Not just resignalling, but route rationalisation as well requiring a totally new layout of platforms and trackwork.
Indeed, it's about much more than just wiring new signals in to the new Derby control centre on Bateman Street / London Road. As the official mini site of EMT put's it, granted the station has some work done a few years back, this project like Nottingham that was done a few years back, is mostly to do with traffic management, and increasing traffic flow availability through the station, part of which is new platforms. Main idea, is to split the traffic coming from the London / Nottingham side, and the Birmingham / Crewe side, so they avoid having to cross each others paths south end of the station as much as possible, and any traffic going north (Sheffield / Matlock), to merge at that end, thus removing a large bottleneck at the south end of the station.
Those machines don't mess about ripping platforms and track out do they?
Keep the videos coming very interesting
I thought Derby was to be closed completely whilst this upgrade was taking place, but I note a skeleton service is still running.
Nathan N Farnell The trains that you can see running on the right are empty stock workings reversing in and out of Etches Park depot, working from and to Nottingham. During the blockade, the headshunt alongside the station would be the only access to and from the depot.
Pennine Trains Ah right. The new platform doesn’t look to be curved enough, but having seen the removal of the older platforms I guess this will be worked into the new layout.
Fabe’s Railway Adventures I stand corrected....thanks for that!
I'm one of the temporary staff working with EMT, showing folks around to alternative services whilst works take place. The section of track you see, is the new plat 7, which at this moment in time, is being used for south-bound (Also north to Sheffield etc when required) EMT services to London St Pancras (Though between Aug 13 - 19th, Sheffield / Derby to London services will start from East Mids Parkway), as well as access from Derby Etches.
Just to help those who are unsure how and what services to catch going through Derby..... As staff, we have been using EMT's app where possible (In our case, for live times, though for planning journeys, best off going through the purchase tickets section, where it offers a more concise route plan) when we are unable to access live departure boards at the affected stations (Like Long Eaton), as that will detail every leg of the journey the customer is to take, including rail replacements, and where to find them.
