Passengers using train services in Gedling borough can expect a full service from Monday – despite fire damage to Nottingham Station.
East Midlands Trains has confirmed it plans to run a full train service on all routes from Monday (15) following the fire at Nottingham station.
All platforms have now been re-opened at the station and there is lift access to platforms 1-6 and step free access to platform 7 via the Queens Road entrance.
The firm say information screens are now back up and running on the platforms and teams will remain on site to sell tickets for travel on the day.
The ticket office remains closed due to extensive fire damage, so customers looking to buy tickets for future travel are advised to book via the website, eastmidlandstrains.co.uk.
Pre-booked tickets can be collected from any East Midlands Trains or other train operator stations or for anyone unable to do this, booking reference numbers will be accepted by East Midlands Trains staff on board the train.
Jake Kelly, managing director of East Midlands Trains, said: “We are pleased to have been able to resume our full train service so quickly. This is tribute to the huge amount of work carried out by East Midlands Trains staff as well as colleagues in Network Rail.
“We are continuing to have a great amount of support from the emergency services and our contractors and I know that people have been pleasantly surprised by how quickly we have managed to get the station back up and running.
“We are continuing to work with Network Rail to determine the precise level and detail of repair work needed at the station and we will keep customers updated as soon as we have further information.”
