£5.46 million railway improvements in the East Midlands will affect passenger journeys over two weekends. Network Rail teams will be carrying out engineering work in Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire on Saturday 15, Sunday 16, Saturday 22 and Sunday 23 August. East Midlands Railway will have an amended timetable on the Liverpool Lime Street to Norwich route, with trains not calling at Ilkeston, Langley Mill or Alfreton. Eric Larocque, Network Rail Operations Director, said:“These upgrades represent a significant investment that will help make the railway more reliable for passenger and freight services in the East Midlands. A spokesperson for Northern and East Midlands Railway said:“We’re working closely with Network Rail to keep customers moving while the work takes place.
