Leiston railway station

Leiston railway station

Leiston railway station was a station in Leiston, Suffolk. It was opened in 1859 by the East Suffolk Railway and later became part of the Great Eastern Railway on its 8.5 mile branch line from Saxmundham to Aldeburgh. It was closed in 1966 as part of the Beeching Axe as much of the British rural rail network was cut back. Today the old station survives intact, as the line is still used to service the nearby nuclear power station at Sizewell.
