context_page_description: Nottingham station, briefly known as Nottingham City and for rather longer as Nottingham Midland, is a railway station and tram stop in the city of Nottingham. It is the principal railway station of Nottingham. It is also a nodal point on the city's tram system, with a tram stop that was originally called Station Street but is now known as Nottingham Station.
  The station was first built by the Midland Railway in 1848 and rebuilt by them in 1904, with much of the current building dating from that later date. It is now owned by Network Rail and managed by East Midlands Railway. Besides trains of that company, it is served by CrossCountry and Northern trains and by Nottingham Express Transit trams.
  The station was one of several that once served the city. Amongst these were the city centre stations of Nottingham Victoria, on the Great Central Railway, and Nottingham London Road, on the Great Northern Railway; both of these stations are now closed. A number of minor stations served locations outside the city centre, but the only such station to remain open within the city boundaries is Bulwell. On 12 January 2018, the newly renovated buildings were badly damaged by fire.
context_section_description: The railway platforms lie at a lower level than the station entrance and are within a ticket barrier enforced paid area. From north to south, the station has two island platforms and a single side platform, with a total of seven numbered platform faces. Each platform is linked to the main entrance concourse by stairs and lifts and to the second footbridge by stairs only.
  The northern of the two island platforms has a bi-directionally signalled through platform face on each side, numbered 1 and 3, and an east-facing bay, numbered 2. The two through platforms are long enough to accommodate fifteen and fourteen coach trains, whilst the bay can accommodate a four-coach train.
  The middle island platform also has bi-directionally signalled through platform faces on each side, numbered 4 and 6, together with a west-facing terminal platform face, numbered 5. Platform 4 can accommodate a five-coach train, platform 5 a seven-coach train and platform 6 a fourteen-coach train.
  Finally the southern side platform is numbered 7 and can accommodate a thirteen-coach train. Sufficient space exists to the south of this platform to add a second platform face, effectively converting this side platform into an island platform, if traffic increases to justify it.
