Information About

Loughborough Railway Station




Loughborough railway station serves the town of Loughborough in Leicestershire , England . It lies on the Midland Main Line , and is to the north-east of the town.

The original station was further south, built by the Midland Counties Railway , which shortly joined the North Midland Railway and the Birmingham And Derby Junction Railway to form the Midland Railway .

The present station was built in 1872 when the track was quadrupled and has retained much of its characteristically Midland Railway Architecture , apart from the fact that its canopies have been cut back.

When the Great Central Railway built another station in the town, it became known as "Loughborough Midland", but has now reverted to its former name.
