Major plans to transform the frontage of Derby’s railway station and surrounding areas have been hugely welcomed – with its current appearance called an “embarrassment” and a “poor reflection of the city”.

Last year Derby City Council unveiled master-plan proposals to significantly improve the appearance of the frontage of the city’s Midland Station as well as the Railway Terrace and Midland Road area.

The “Station Quarter” transformation could see a new walkway from the entrance of the station to Midland Road , new entrance and signage to the existing Derby Midland Station, and new apartments and office space. Plans are also in the pipeline to invest at Pride Park by potentially building a new multi-storey car park and office space at the rear of the station.
