THE city council has drafted in ambassadors to help people visiting Nottingham while the train station is revamped.
Re-signalling work starting on Saturday will see the station closed for five weeks.
The ambassadors will be helping travellers at replacement bus drop-off points on Queens Road and Canal Street.
East Midlands Trains will also have staff available at all replacement bus stops to provide guidance, directing people to bus pick-up points and answering queries about train and replacement bus timetables.
During the closure more than six miles of track will be re-laid, all signals replaced, three junctions re-modelled, two level crossings replaced with footbridges, as well as building a new platform and redesigning track layout at Nottingham Station.
City council portfolio holder for planning and transport Councillor Jane Urquhart, said: "Through our ambassadors we aim to give travellers a warm welcome to Nottingham, assisting them with directions into the city centre and any other enquiries that they may have."
