We’d love to connect with you on the social media profiles we’ve set up. If you useful questions, answers or thoughts, feel free to provide such information through Facebooks, Twitter, YouTube or Pinterest.

Facebook

Please “like” the Ilkeston Railway Station Facebook page. You will be helping to spread the word via your social network. As much support as possible is needed, in particular from local businesses, who must make their case for the stimulation in the local economy provided by a railway station.

Twitter

If you could “follow” Ilkeston Railway Station on Twitter and retweet important messages, it would be doing the campaign a great service. Word of mouth and media are very the essence of this campaign, especially online social tools which are instant, transparent and cost effective.

Pinterest

A Pinterest account has been set up for those who like to look at old picture and photos. At the moment there’s nothing much going on there but it’d be great if someone local with the interest would like to manage the Pinterest account and make it a useful and interesting account to follow.

YouTube

Watch some of the videos on the Ilkeston Railway Station YouTube channel. More videos will be added in the future.

Soundcloud

Sometimes we record chats/discussions about the developments. Please check out Ilkeston Railway Station on Soundcloud to hear some of those recordings. If you’ve got something to say, please get in touch.
