Derby project Outline: A £198 million track & signalling scheme • The signalling equipment around Derby Station is • nearing the end of its operational life The track layout is nearly 50 years old • Since track & signalling work in unison and so are • being replaced together Preparatory work has already begun and as much • work as possible will be done prior to disrupting station users & passengers  This includes installing 3.5km of track, new signal bases, drainage, signals & telecoms cabling and construction of a new station platform /

Derby project Schedule of work: August 2017: Piling for new signal bases begins • Christmas 2017: •  Removal of sidings & goods lines in the station area  Some reduction in public car parking for materials storage January - June 2018: •  Installation of signalling continues  New 320 metre platform constructed - new stairs & lift from existing pedestrian footbridge installed 22 July to 7 Oct 2018: • Main works • /

Derby project Main works (22 July to 7 Oct 2018) : The volume of work to be completed will take 79 • days During this time: •  14km of track will be replaced & re-laid in a new configuration  55 new straight post signals, 9 new signal gantries & 79 sets of points will be installed  150,000 tonnes of new ballast will be laid  240 engineering trains will bring in material & remove waste from the site The station will remain operational for the majority of this period /

Derby project Benefits: The new layout will: •  Reduce bottlenecks  Increased line speed  Enable more efficient management of rail traffic & quicker passage through station  Deliver new signalling with remote condition monitoring for improved reliability & ease of maintenance  Provide greater operational flexibility & reliability  Deliver a layout to help meet future growth /

Derby project Impact on station users/passengers: Derby Station will remain open & operational for • majority of 79 days in summer 2018 We are still a year away from any disruption • A train & replacement bus plan is being developed •  Network Rail and Train Operators are working together to ensure key links, such as Derby to London, are maintained wherever possible There will be significant communications activity • during the project to keep you informed  Including an online tool passengers can use to plan around the disruption /
