Sileby railway station is a railway station serving the village of Sileby in Leicestershire, England. The station is located on the Midland Main Line Lua error in Module:Convert at line 452: attempt to index field 'titles' (a nil value). north of Leicester towards Loughborough.
The original station was built in 1840 for the Midland Counties Railway, which shortly joined the North Midland Railway and the Birmingham and Derby Junction Railway to form the Midland Railway[1]
The line cut the village in two connecting the halves with a substantial stone bridge. The platform structures were of timber and very little remains after closure in 1968 apart from the station house.[2]
It reopened on 27 May 1994 as part of phase one of the Ivanhoe Line.
For journeys beginning at Sileby, the full range of tickets for travel for any destination in the country are purchased from the guard on the train at no extra cost. It is a penalty fare station however, so a permit to travel must be bought from the machine installed on the Leicester-bound platform before joining the train.
Services
On Monday to Saturdays, there is an hourly service southbound to Leicester and northbound to Nottingham continuing onwards to Lincoln Central. There is no Sunday service.
Services are operated by East Midlands Trains Local.
