PASSENGERS should plan ahead as major resignalling works begin at Nottingham Station this weekend.
A £100m project to upgrade the station's outdated signalling and track begins on Saturday.
It means the majority of services into and out of the station will stop until August 25, with East Midlands Parkway station becoming the main hub during the works.
David Horne, managing director at East Midlands Trains, said: "It's really exciting that Nottingham will start such a major transformation in just a few days.
"A huge amount of effort and more than three years worth of detailed planning has taken place by our teams to ensure our passengers get the best possible service during the works. Our strong team of volunteers are now getting ready to get out to stations and help our passengers with every step of their journey."
As part of this project, more than a mile of track will be relayed with a series of junctions, as well as the construction of a new platform and more than 140 new signals.
During the works, up to 35 buses an hour will take passengers from Nottingham Station to East Midlands Parkway and other nearby stations to catch connecting trains.
Phil Verster, route managing director at Network Rail, said: "The vital work we are about to carry out at Nottingham will be the biggest change to the railway in the city since the 1960s and will allow operators to trains more reliably and more often than ever before.
