The main entrance to Nottingham station in 2015

Nottingham station, briefly known as Nottingham City and for rather longer as Nottingham Midland, is the principal railway station of Nottingham and is a nodal point on the city's tram system. 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 (NET) 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.
