NOTTINGHAM railway station was evacuated yesterday after an alarm was accidentally triggered.
The station was cleared for less than five minutes at about 10.15am after a fire alarm sounded.
It was quickly discovered to be a false alarm and passengers returned.
A station spokesman said the alarm was triggered by contractors at the station.
Work has started on a £60 million revamp. The improvements will take 18 months and will see the station transformed into a transport hub. The ticket office has moved to a temporary facility opposite Capital One, Station Street.
