The unveiling was held on Thursday 8 May, the 80th Anniversary of VE Day, and, as the group were assembled ahead of midday, the group respected the two minutes national period of silence by joining in at 12.00. The weather was clear and bright for the event.
The assembled group discussed the project and the support which had been forthcoming, not only during the restoration of the building but also through the support of the Railway Heritage Trust, DfT and West Midlands Railway, and the sponsorship of the awards by GWR.

Monday 28 April saw the official unveiling of the plaque awarded to the Derbyshire Historic Buildings Trust in the 2024 National Railway Heritage Awards officially unveiled on the superbly restored railway station in Derbyshire.

When a major building is seriously damaged or destroyed there is always a debate: restore or replace. On 17 July 2021 the largely wooden-built Grade B listed building that served platform 1 at Troon station in Scotland was destroyed beyond repair. The building, which dated to 1892, was designed by James Miller for the Glasgow & South Western Railway.
