History


It opened on 1 October 1869[1] when the Melbourne Line was extended from Melbourne. The line was then extended in 1874 from Worthington to Ashby de la Zouch.

In 1930 passenger services was withdrawn and the Midland's successor, the London, Midland and Scottish Railway, was using the line only for freight services. During the Second World War the line became the Melbourne Military Railway. In 1945 the War Department returned the line and station to the LMS.

In 1980 British Railways closed the line and by the 1990s the track had been dismantled. National Cycle Route 6 now joins the trackbed at the site of the former station.
