View northward on Station Drive. The railway tracks are just over the fence ahead: ex-Midland Leicester - Ashby-de-la-Zouch - Burton-on-Trent line, which closed to passengers 7/9/64, but still carries freight and may soon carry passengers again. Moira station used also to serve trains on the ex-Midland Swadlincote Loop from Gresley: passenger until 19/2/27, goods until 6/10/47, excursions until 9/62; also the Midland & LNWR Joint Ashby - Nuneaton line, which lost its passenger service 13/4/31 but remained for goods until 6/7/64.
