Narborough railway station

Narborough railway station serves the large village of Narborough and the small village of Littlethorpe in Leicestershire. It is on the Birmingham to Peterborough Line about 7 mi southwest of Leicester. The station is owned by Network Rail and managed by East Midlands Railway, who do not serve the station. Only CrossCountry trains serve the station.

A full range of tickets for travel is available from the station ticket office, which is open from 0640 to 1300 Mondays to Saturdays, or at other times from the guard on the train at no extra cost.

History
The station was opened in 1864 by the South Leicestershire Railway, which was taken over by the London and North Western Railway in 1867.

British Railways closed the station on 4 March 1968, but public objections led BR to reopen it on 5 January 1970. Restoration of the station after 21 months of disuse cost £3,250, which was paid for by the then Blaby Rural District Council and Narborough Parish Council.

Next to the station is a level crossing across Station Road.

Services
There are services to Leicester and Birmingham New Street: usually one train in each direction every hour (including Sundays). There is one early morning train per day to Stansted Airport on weekdays only, plus three additional peak services as far as Cambridge. There is also one late evening train a day on weekdays only to Gloucester.

This station has a waiting room, which is open for the same hours as the booking office.
