Work Starts on East Midlands Parkway
Station
Construction of a new railway station serving East Midlands Airport
began this week. The £25.5m East Midlands Parkway project,
primarily funded by Network Rail with a contribution of £895,000
from East Midlands Development Agency, will see a station built
near junction 24 of the M1 motorway.
East Midlands Parkway will open in December 2008 and will include
four platforms, step free access, a station building with ticket
office and 850 car parking spaces. The station will be staffed and
managed by East Midlands Trains.
