Trains to Sileby - Station Details and further Information on Sileby Train Services
Sileby train station is a train station serving the village of Sileby in Leicestershire, England. The station is located on the Midland Main Line 6½ miles 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.
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. It reopened on 27 May 1994 as part of phase one of the Ivanhoe Line.
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 exclusively by East Midlands Trains Local. East Midlands Trains London services from Leeds, Sheffield and London run through at high speed, but do not stop. Interchange with Mainline services can be made at Leicester and Loughborough. |
