East Midlands railway infrastructure and service updates

Overview

Developments in the East Midlands rail network have focused on both physical infrastructure and digital service improvements.

Network Rail completed a £6.95 million infrastructure programme across Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, and Leicestershire. The project included track renewal in Ashwell, drainage improvements in Alfreton and Kirby Bellars, and the refurbishment of points at Blackwell South and Trowell Junctions to increase flood resilience and reliability.

Concurrently, East Midlands Railway has extended its Digital Pay As You Go trial for an additional 12 months. Operating between Leicester, Derby, and Nottingham, the GPS-based system allows passengers to be charged automatically via an app, removing the need for pre-purchased tickets. The trial has facilitated over 27,000 journeys with a customer satisfaction rating of 4.4 out of 5.
