The Hub Proposals

The beautiful Edwardian buildings at the front of the station will be restored to their former glory. By removing the taxis and cars from the front, space will be created for shops, cafes and places to wait in comfort.

The original grand Booking Hall will be reinstated.

The arrival concourse will be extended along Queens Road, with a direct link to the new high-level NET station.

A southern concourse will make it easy to move between the arrival concourse, the train platforms and the NET station.

A spacious new long stay car park on Queens Road – Nottingham’s new inner ring road will have direct connections to the concourse, the booking hall, and the train and NET platforms.

There will be convenient taxi drop off and pick up points next to the restored station street buildings.

Cars will be able to drop off and pick up on both Station Street and Queens Road, near to the new NET Station.

The Hub - Nottingham Station Plan

Bus connections to the station will be greatly improved, with new bus stops right outside the station front.

Carrington Street will be redesigned giving greater priority to pedestrians.

It will be much easier to walk from The Hub to the city centre, with clear pedestrian routes through the new Broadmarsh to the Market Square, the Castle and the Lace Market.

There will be much better walking routes further afield, to the Eastside Island Quarter, the Meadows,Trent Bridge and beyond.

There will be better cycle routes to The Hub, and safe places to leave bikes.

A further train platform has also been safeguarded, to increase the number of trains The Hub can handle.

New train signals will mean more capacity and better reliability.

The buildings on the train platforms will be renovated, with attractive glazed canopies to protect passengers.

The much-loved historic cabman’s shelter at the front of the station will become a café.

The façade of the Edwardian police station will be restored, including the original blue lamp.
