Derby Station at night
 

Hi guy's
In a few weeks i have to go to Derby on a course for work,i am just thinking is it safe on Derby station after 6 o'clock in the everning and do you get any trouble for the rail staff there,or do they just let you get on with what your doing.
And is the area safe at that time of day.
Thanks Ian White

I was at Derby Station on Friday on my way back from Cornwall about 4.00pm and all seemed fine. Also when I returned from the trip with Princess Elizabeth last February about 10.00pm on a Saturday all was calm and I had left my car in the car park!

I live just north of derby so perhaps we could meet up.

Hi John we could meet up if you would like but i am not going to be there until 6 o'clock,and i was going to hang round for a couple of hours just to see what's going on.
So i will p.m you near the date witch will be the 23rd of November and we will sort it out.
All the best,Ian

Well being from derby myself i am always down on different day and i stay there until 8:30 or 9:00 and we have had no trouble what so ever
so try it but beware of the wierdo's that come of the trains

Enjoy yourself,HSTjoe

What about the wierdo's that watch the trains, and I count myself in that category.
Seriously though I cannot comment on the safety aspect of Derby Station, even though I only live 9 miles away. I think its safe to say that you keep a lookout wherever you are nowdays, but to be fair I have never had problems at Derby whatever time of day I have been there.

John,i am a derby lad,it is safe,and you will not get hassled by station staff.
While you are in that area try the Brunswick,and next door the Alexander,both
about 200yds from the station,both proper REAL ALE pubs.
Welcome to Derby Midland.
All the best,Roger.

Welcome to the forum Roger.

On the subject of Derby station they are making real progress with the development. Ive seen showers being fitted on platform 2B, and the new canopies along with statios signs really modernises the station at the front end. Will be spectacular when they eventually do all platforms.

Welcome to the Forum Roger. Look forward to your posts.

Best wishes,

To be honest I have never been at night I would imagine that its perfectly safe. If you get chance try it in the day time you get all sorts of stuff knocking about very interesting movements from the test centre and stuff coming in deffo worth a visit
