Leicester Humberstone Road railway station

Leicester Humberstone Road railway station

Humberstone Road station was a station to the north of Leicester, England.

It was opened in 1839 for the Midland Counties Railway, which shortly joined the North Midland Railway and the Birmingham and Derby Junction Railway to form the Midland Railway.

Built next to what is now the A47, it served the northern side of the city. The next station was at Syston on what is now the Midland Main Line between Leicester and Loughborough. A short distance away was the similarly named Humberstone railway station. [British Railways Atlas.1947. p.16]
