Worthington railway station


Worthington railway station was a station at Worthington, Leicestershire, England. It was on a Midland Railway line built in 1874 from to a junction on the Leicester to Burton upon Trent Line near.
In 1930 passenger services was withdrawn and the Midland's successor, the London, Midland and Scottish Railway, was using the line only for freight services.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.
