THE company which maintains the UK rail network has resubmitted plans for a larger logistics and maintenance depot in Derby, which would create 50 engineering jobs.

Network Rail wants to develop a larger building at the depot, on a 70-acre site near to Chaddesden Triangle.

The company has now submitted a new planning application to Derby City Council for a three-storey building, instead of a two-storey structure. It will bring together around 450 staff from existing Network Rail offices and sub-depots across the region.

But it will also be home to 50 engineers who will be involved in the £500 million upgrade and electrification of the Midland Main Line, which serves Derby.
