Starting today, Sunday 7th October 2012, major changes are being made to the ticketing and entrance areas of Nottingham Midland Station. It is now all barricaded off with metal gating, which is going to be nuisance to those who don't know about the project, especially, as there are current road works at the junction of Carrington St and Station St and scaffolding around the Bentinck Hotel.
For the next year and a half construction work, both, for the railway and tram network access, will necessitate passengers walking further to obtain your tickets and other travel advice from the new temporary East Midlands Trains offices, which are now located opposite Capital One's Corporate HQ Building on Station Street. There are some ticket machines on the pavement on Station Street, however, they may cause confusion for first time users and when it's raining there are no protective areas to stand. To gain access to the platforms from Station St. you have to use the footbridge.

Just thought this info. may be of use to some of you if you expect to travel by train from here in the next 18 months.

More details of what is taking place can be found on the EMT website;

I'm pleased to see that a big focus is being put on restoring the station building - the concourse area is lovely, but just outside dumps you into an attractive area that was filled with taxis picking up and dropping off. I'm glad this arrangement will stop and see a larger concourse provided (from what I can gather). I haven't yet seen the temporary ticket office arrangements in action, but before the refurbishment started the arrangement of portable cabins didn't look too spacious.

Any idea if the relocation of the ticket office is actually going to be for the duration of the works or just temporarily while they do it up?
