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 station is aligned approximately east to west, at the southern edge of the city centre, with Station Street to the north and Queen's Road to the south. At the western end of the station, the tracks are spanned by Carrington Street and the station's main entrance is on the eastern side of this street. Since the station's redevelopment, the entrances from Carrington Street open into a concourse that spans the station from north to south. This occupies what was once the station's porte-cochère and provides a large pedestrian circulation area, along with several retail sites.
  The ticket hall for the railway station opens off the centre of eastern side of the concourse and, in turn, gives access via ticket barriers to a pedestrian overbridge with stairs and lifts down to the railway platforms. A second concourse opens off the main concourse at the southern end of its eastern side; this runs parallel and to the south of the platforms, giving access by stairs, lifts and escalators to the tram stop, the station car park, taxi rank, vehicular pick-up and drop-off points, and Queen Street. The tram stop spans the station from north to south to the east of the main entrance, at a higher level than the concourse, and east of that a second footbridge links the platforms; it carries the previously referred-to footpath 28.
  The station's multi-storey car park lies south of the platforms, north of Queen Street, and east of the tram bridge. It provides parking for about 800 cars and the covered area below it houses the station's new taxi rank, pick-up and drop-off points, relocated from the old porte-cochère.
