ILKESTON STATION UNDER THE WIRES

Erewash Railways

The fight for an Ilkeston Station goes on with a recent visit by Lillian Greenwood M.P. to a possible site at the old Ilkeston Junction highlighting the issue. Meanwhile the additional long running campaign to get the Midland Mainline Electrified has been recently raised in Parliament by Labour M.P.'s Lillian Greenwood and Jon Ashworth.
With the HS2 Project already given the go ahead railways could have a renaissance in the Erewash area which could create and sustain hundreds of much needed jobs.
