Contents 1 Funding 2 Construction 3 Services 4 References Funding Ilkeston was proposed in 2009 as a new Park and Ride ( or Parkway ) station in the Connecting Communities report by the Association of Train Operating Companies. Funding came from the government via the New Stations Fund, managed by Network Rail. Selection of Ilkeston was confirmed in May 2013, with the station planned to open in 2014. The cost of the project, originally estimated at £ 6.5 m, was reported as £ 10m in 2016. Construction Ilkeston railway station on opening day Preliminary work at the site in June 2014 found protected great crested newts, delaying the start of construction until October 2014. This, together with additional flood protection work, delayed the expected opening date to spring 2015. In October 2014, it was announced that the cost of proposed flood protection work exceeded the available budget, requiring a cheaper solution to be found. This further delayed the start of construction until 2015, and pushed the opening date to `` late 2015 ''. In February 2015, the finding of more great crested newts further delayed the work, and the opening was expected to be by August 2016, but one year later this had become `` late autumn ''. Further delays led to the opening date being pushed back into the first quarter of 2017. In January 2017, the opening date of Sunday, 2 April 2017 was finally announced. The first groundwork of the main station construction began in spring 2016, after the completion of preliminary works including the assessment and stabilisation of mines. An unofficial website monitoring and reporting the progress of the construction was set up, with articles from local residents and business owners, and video footage of some of the construction work. Services commenced on Sunday 2 April 2017. Services Most calls here are provided by the Northern Leeds - Sheffield - Nottingham service, which operates hourly in each direction ( less frequently after 20 : 00 ). Some early morning / late evening trains start or finish at Sheffield. East Midlands stops are limited to a small number of Liverpool Lime Street - Sheffield - Nottingham / Norwich trains during peak periods and in the early afternoon. Sunday service levels are broadly similar to those on weekdays, albeit with a later start.
