Train operator Northern, which serves Ilkeston Railway Station, is encouraging customers to get out and enjoy the early May bank holiday by train.
A statement said that most of its services will be running as usual over the early May bank holiday, although there is anticipated to be engineering work affecting a small number of routes, with work taking place on lines running between Leeds and Nottingham and around the North West.
Whilst trains on most routes will be running as normal over the weekend, services may start later or finish earlier, so the operator is advising customers to leave plenty of time to travel and check train times before heading to the station.
Matt Rice, chief operating officer for Northern said: "We're hoping for some fantastic weather over the early May bank holiday weekend, and there's no better way to get out there and enjoy it than by train.
"Whilst we've got some engineering work taking place on a handful of our routes, the vast majority of Northern trains will be running as normal. A reduced timetable is still in place on Sunday across the North West, so customers should make sure they check before they travel as trains may be busier."
