Wigston South railway station (site), Leicestershire
Opened in 1840 on what became the Midland Railway's line from Leicester to Rugby, this station closed to passengers in 1962 and completely in 1966. All traces of the line have been removed.
View north east towards Leicester. As rebuilt in 1890 with 'staggered' platforms, the camera position is where the southbound platform was located. The line crossed the road straight ahead on a level crossing, and the northbound platform was where the left-hand side of the modern buildings are.
