South Wigston Railway Station, South Wigston
The station is on the line from Birmingham to Leicester via Hinckley, but many trains do not stop here. The station's platforms are staggered, and this is the one on the north side of the tracks. The other platform is on the other side of the footbridge.
In the distance can be seen tracks coming in from the left. There is in fact a triangle of tracks in this area. The arrangement used to be even more complicated, as there was a further line going to Rugby, which cut across part of the triangle, but that closed decades ago. There used to be three stations in this area, but all were closed and replaced by the present South Wigston station, which is about as basic as can be.

South Wigston Railway Station waiting room, South Wigston
Waiting room is perhaps too grand a term for what is basically an enlarged version of a bus shelter. This, the information board with train times, and the platform lighting, are the only facilities to be found here. This is the platform on the north side of the tracks. Similar facilities are to be found on the other platform.
