Leicester Railway Station (LEI) - The ABC Railway Guide

Leicester railway station, (formerly Leicester London Road), is a railway station serving the city of Leicester in Leicestershire, England. It was originally opened in 1840 by the Midland Counties Railway, and rebuilt in 1894. Today it is operated by East Midlands Trains, and it is on the main line from London St Pancras to Sheffield and Nottingham.

The railway through Leicester is not electrified, so all services are operated by diesel trains. This is set to change when a scheme to electrify the remainder of the Midland Main Line is to be completed. This, along with faster line speeds, means the city will be under 60 minutes from the capital. Work had commenced on the electrification works with some bridges raised to accommodate the necessary Overhead line equipment though a recent announcement by the Department for Transport has indefinitely put the Midland Main Line electrification on hold.
