More from BBC News...

Looks like the A38 from the M1 to Derby and the M1 between Sheffield and Nottingham could even busier than normal!

Further to the above these are the alterations that will be in place if anyone needs them:

CT has issued a press release, but oddly they never seem to include them
on
website. Here is extract of press release (thanks to Travel Watch East
Midlands from where I pinched extract):
NR is spending £56m to modernise track and signalling at two key
junctions, Trowell and Clay Cross. Line closed for 9 weeks Sunday 10 June until
Friday 10 August inclusive.

Buses will run Nottingham-Langley Mill-Alfreton-Chesterfield. Some services at Dronfield will also be replaced by buses.


Nottingham-Liverpool services diverted non-stop to Chesterfield via
Derby.
Monday-Friday off-peak these will not call at Sheffield.

Between Sheffield and Manchester CT will be operating reduced timetable but TPE will
operate normally.


Each weekday, to reduce congestion between Derby and Ambergate two daytimeand one evening train between Whatstandwell and Derby will be replaced by buses.

The 12.23 train departure from Ambergate on Saturdays will run non-stop to Derby but there will be no replacement bus for Belper and Duffield. There will be additional passenger shelter and facilities at
Whatstandwell to cater for the expected increase in waiting passengers
