Derby Station (formerly known as Derby Midland Station to distinguish it from the now disused Derby Friargate) is a mainline railway station serving the city of Derby in England. Owned by Network Rail and managed by the Midland Mainline train operating company, the station is also used by Central Trains and Virgin Trains services. It is situated to the south-east of Derby City Centre, and is close to the west bank of the River Derwent. Derby's central location and former importance as a "railway town" have made it an important node of the rail network. Until recently, major carriage and locomotive workshops as well as the Research Division in the Railway Technical Centre were housed there.

Derby is a former spa town that lies on the River Derwent. The citys history dates back to Roman times but it was only given city status in 1977 by Queen Elizabeth II. The town has been involved in many industries, including beer, cloth, porcelain and Rolls Royce aircraft engines and has been referred to as the home of industry. The popular consensus of opinion is that Derby is a corruption of the Danish Deor-a-By, meaning village of the deer. It was the industrial revolution that transformed Derby into a centre for the silk industry and then brought a major railway terminus to the city. The city has much to offer the visitor in its own right, but is also an excellent base for touring the fantastic countryside in the region.

The new stadium was opened by Her Majesty the Queen in 1997, is totally enclosed with all corners being filled. One corner is filled with executive boxes, giving the stadium a continental touch. The large Toyota West Stand which runs down one side of the pitch is two tiered, complete with a row of executive boxes. The rest of the ground is smaller in size than the West Stand, as the roof drops a tier to the other sides, making it look unbalanced. It is a pity that the West Stand could not be replicated throughout the rest of the stadium as this would have made it truly magnificent.
