Derby Railway Station

Derby Station (formerly known as Derby Midland Station to distinguish it from the now disused Derby Friargate) is a mainline railway station serving the city of Derby in England. Owned by Network Rail and managed by the Midland Mainline train operating company, the station is also used by Central Trains and Virgin Trains services. It is situated to the south-east of Derby City Centre, and is close to the west bank of the River Derwent. Derby's central location and former importance as a "railway town" have made it an important node of the rail network. Until recently, major carriage and locomotive workshops as well as the Research Division in the Railway Technical Centre were housed there.
