Nottingham station

Last updated

Footpath 28 is unique and offers an experience which the alternative, replacement route cannot – a traffic free route within the city, which in addition provides a convenient link for a large number of users to and from residential areas, work places and other facilities. It provides a short but valued opportunity for pedestrians to get away from trafficked routes, with the added amenity value of an historic environment. On balancing the merits and demerits of the stopping up order, I find that the disadvantages and loss likely to arise as a result of the stopping up of the footpath to members of the public generally are such that permanent closure of Footpath 28 to the public is not justified. Thus, I conclude that the Order should not be confirmed.

Susan Doran BA Hons MIPROW, Inspector appointed by the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, Decision Notice §44, 13 December 2011 [76] :8

The footbridge was scheduled to be closed temporarily in November 2017; the reasons given were "making improvements" and "essential maintenance work". [84] [85]

New bridge and tram stop

To facilitate the Nottingham Express Transit's phase two extension into the south of the city, it was decided to have the tram line cross the station on the line of the original Great Central Railway viaduct, which had been closed to passenger trains in 1967 and goods in 1973. This required a bridge, crossing from the existing Station Street stop, which closed, over both the station and Queen's Road. [15] :5,8 [86] [87]

Construction of the tram bridge started on 10 April 2012 and the bridge was jacked into place in May 2013. The tram bridge design is a Warren truss design made of 508 to 711 mm (20.0 to 28.0 in) diameter steel tubes. [88] :6 The main bridge is 14.53 m (47.7 ft) wide between the truss centrelines, with two equal spans of 52.12 m (171.0 ft). The bridge is officially called the Karlsruhe Friendship Bridge, after Nottingham's twin city of Karlsruhe, Germany. [88] :6 [89] [90] [91]

The new Nottingham Station tram stop was constructed on the bridge, providing interchange with the railway network. It replaced the previous Station Street tram stop, opened in 2004, which was located approximately 100 metres (330 ft) to the north. The new stop was opened on 27 July 2015 and the former stop closed at the same time, although the intention is to reopen the Station Street access building as a second access to the new stop once it has been refurbished. The new stop served as the new southern terminus of the system until the rest of NET's phase two opened, at which point it became a through station, with trams continuing to new termini in Chilwell and Clifton. [16] [92] [93]

2018 fire

On the morning of 12 January 2018, a fire extensively damaged the station buildings. Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service received a call at 6:25 am reporting that a fire had started in the women's toilet in the newly built section of the station. [94] The fire was attended by ten fire engines and 50 firefighters. Firefighters from Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service also attended, bringing the total to 60. [95]

After the fire began, it spread upwards into the roof of the newly built section of the station, along the station concourse and into the historic station building. [96] [97] There was extensive disruption to trains in the East Midlands area.

British Transport Police stated, later the same day, that they were treating the fire as arson [98] and, on 2 February 2018, police reported that a 33-year-old woman had been arrested on suspicion of arson. [99] In August 2019, a 34-year-old drug addict received a two-year jail sentence, having admitted to accidentally setting fire to a bin while using heroin and crack. [100]

In February 2018, East Midlands Trains named one of their recently transferred Class 43 power cars (43467) Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service and British Transport Police Nottingham after their assistance during the fire. [101]

The station is aligned approximately east to west, at the southern edge of the city centre, with Station Street to the north and Queen's Road to the south. At the western end of the station, the tracks are spanned by Carrington Street and the station's main entrance is on the eastern side of this street. Since the station's redevelopment, the entrances from Carrington Street open into a concourse that spans the station from north to south. This occupies what was once the station's porte-cochère and provides a large pedestrian circulation area, along with several retail sites. [15] :3–5 [102]

The booking hall for the railway station opens off the centre of eastern side of the concourse and, in turn, gives access via ticket barriers to a pedestrian overbridge with stairs and lifts down to the railway platforms. A second concourse opens off the main concourse at the southern end of its eastern side; this runs parallel and to the south of the platforms, giving access by stairs, lifts and escalators to the tram stop, the station car park, taxi rank, vehicular pick-up and drop-off points, and Queen Street. The tram stop spans the station from north to south to the east of the main entrance, at a higher level than the concourse, and east of that a second footbridge links the platforms; it carries the previously referred-to footpath 28. [15] :3–5 [102]

The station's multi-storey car park lies south of the platforms, north of Queen Street, and east of the tram bridge. It provides parking for about 800 cars and the covered area below it houses the station's new taxi rank, pick-up and drop-off points, relocated from the old porte-cochère. [15] :3–5 [102]

Platform 7 looking across to platform 6 (with train) and up to the concourse

The railway platforms lie at a lower level than the station entrance and are within a ticket barrier enforced paid area. From north to south, the station has two island platforms and a single side platform, with a total of seven numbered platform faces. [103] Each platform is linked to the main entrance concourse by stairs and lifts and to the second footbridge by stairs only. [102]

The northern of the two island platforms has a bi-directionally signalled through platform face on each side,[ clarification needed ] numbered 1 and 3, and an east-facing bay, numbered 2. The two through platforms are long enough to accommodate fifteen and fourteen coach trains, whilst the bay can accommodate a four-coach train. [103]

The middle island platform also has bi-directionally signalled through platform faces on each side, numbered 4 and 6, together with a west-facing terminal platform face, numbered 5. Platform 4 can accommodate a five-coach train, platform 5 a seven-coach train and platform 6 a fourteen-coach train. [103]

Finally the southern side platform is numbered 7 and can accommodate a thirteen-coach train. Sufficient space exists to the south of this platform to add a second platform face, effectively converting this side platform into an island platform, if traffic increases to justify it. [15] :7 [103]

Nottingham Station
Location in Nottinghamshire, England

The new tram stop is positioned at a higher level than the station entrance and lies at a right angle to, and above, the railway platforms. It is designed as a through stop, with two side platforms flanking each side of the double tramway track. Like all NET stops, pedestrian access between the platforms is permitted on the level via crossings at each end of the platforms. Ticket machines are located on both platforms and the stop lies outside the ticket barrier-enforced paid area of the railway station. [92]

The tram stop is connected directly to the railway station's main concourse (and the railway platforms) via the new side concourse, with stairs, escalators and lifts bridging the height difference. A direct access is also provided to the station's multi-storey car park. The former access from Station Street is also still available, accessible via a walkway running parallel to the railway tracks. [92]

North of the stop, the tramway tracks pass over Station Street and through the abandoned platforms of the former Station Street stop, before proceeding along the old Great Central Main Line viaduct and eventually joining an on-street section through the centre of Nottingham. South of the new stop, the tracks pass over Queen's Road before descending a ramp and re-joining the city's streets at ground level. The junction between the Clifton and Chilwell branches of the NET system lies just beyond this point. [104]
