East Leake railway station
Coordinates: 52°49′52.00″N 1°11′24.00″W / 52.83111°N 1.19°W
East Leake railway station[1] is a former railway station serving East Leake, Nottinghamshire and is the only surviving Great Central Railway station accessed from an underbridge rather than an overbridge. The preserved Great Central Railway passes through but the station has not reopened mainly due to lack of car parking. A small goods siding[1] next to the station was redeveloped in the 1990s, and with the station entrance being directly onto the road under the bridge, safety concerns were also a factor. The station buildings have been demolished, with the rubble used to fill in the area from the road entrance to the platform. The island platform remains in situ and could still be used if required. Rushcliffe Halt is nearby.
