Ilkeston railway station
Ilkeston railway station

Ilkeston railway station serves the town of Ilkeston, Derbyshire, England. It is located at the site of the former Ilkeston Junction and Cossall station, on the Midland Main Line between Nottingham and Langley Mill. It is served by Northern Nottingham to Leeds services and by East Midlands Railway. During 2013, Derbyshire County Council presented its business case for the construction of a railway station for Ilkeston; at this point, it was considered to be the largest town to have an operational passenger line running through it but without any station serving it. Later that year, the project gained official backing and financing from the UK government via the New Stations Fund, which is managed by national railway infrastructure maintenance company Network Rail. Despite original plans to open the station during 2014, construction work was repeatedly delayed to account for numerous factors at the site selected, including the potential for flooding, ground instability from historic mining activity, and the presence of endangered species. During April 2016, work finally commenced at the site; the construction process, which involved several bespoke designs to accommodate site conditions, was completed within ten months. The new station was opened on 2 April 2017. It has two platforms, ticket vending machines, a wheelchair-accessible footbridge, a sizable car park and a taxi rank. Early passenger numbers have exceeded expectations.
