Did the Midland definitions of up/down remain after grouping,

They remain to this day. Changing designation would be a fraught
task, I can see why it would be put off even if it was thought to be
a good idea.

Changes have been made elsewhere. The GCR into Marylebone is an example.

The South Leicestershire was clearly down from Nuneaton, since the
milepost zero is there, yet it is now down *to* Nuneaton.

Lines presumably change designation somewhere in Derby Midland
station. Perhaps there is some sort of object which marks the spot.

The only line that appears to be Up to Derby is that from Birmingham.
Everything else is Down northwards.

Even the Trent East Curve is Down towards Derby and Up towards
Nottingham.
