Work to build a railway station in Derbyshire could start in September, following delays due to flooding and the discovery of protected newts. Ilkeston station was initially given the go-ahead in 2013 and had been expected to be in operation by now. Great crested newts, which are protected by law, were found at the site in the winter halting work while they were moved elsewhere. Derbyshire County Council said the station should open next year.
