Met up with Ashless, Mat_100 and his gf this morning near Derby train station to visit a building that Matt_100 had spotted.
Access was easy, if a little exposed, and soon we were inside the basement of a boarded up building. High vaulted ceilings and lots of arches, but no staircase, although there was some newish brick work, so possibly access has been blocked off. I didn't see much worth photographing in this bit, but I did like the different block construction in this wall, so that's the only shot I have from the basement.
We had a bit of a wander around and found access into a tunnel. We could hear the station announcements and we think we were under platform 1. The tunnel was blocked off at one end, which seems to approximately coincide with the end of the platform.
The other end leads in and alongside the underpass allowing passengers to pass beneath the tracks and out to the ticket office.
Then we had a bit of a look around the building and there are two possible access points, both of which will call for a little acrobatics, and some darkness.
That's it for now.
