My Visits: Derby Station


While waiting for my departing train on the 29th April 2025, a British Rail class 97(302) arrived at the opposite platform. From the information I could find online, the Class 97 is a refurbished Class 37. It has been re-designated to Network Rail. Despite the fact it stopped at the platform, a "This train does not stop here" announcement played - likely as it wasn't taking on passengers. It remained there for at least ten minutes until my departing Class 170 came rattling down the tracks.
