Everything about Melton Mowbray Railway Station totally explained
Melton Mowbray railway station serves the town of
Melton Mowbray in
Leicestershire,
England.
The station is on
CrossCountry's Birmingham to Stansted Airport line between
Leicester and
Peterborough.
There is also a rail line towards
Nottingham that runs via
Old Dalby, but it stops short of
Nottingham railway station at the edge of the suburb of
West Bridgford. This is electrified with overheads, has its own control centre. This dates from when
British Rail Research developed it as a test track for the
Advanced Passenger Train, having been taken out of use some years before. It has, more recently, been used for Virgin Trains' Pendolinos' testing as well as being lined up for Metronet to use in the testing of tube trains built by
Bombardier in Derby.
Services
From Melton Mowbray there's generally an hourly service, operated by
CrossCountry each day towards
Leicester, and
Birmingham New Street westbound and Peterborough,
Cambridge and
Stansted Airport eastbound as well as additional services in the PM peak.
Connections at
Leicester Station to
London St Pancras International are ideal at ten minutes, traveling time end to end can be as little as one and a half hours.
Despite managing the station,
East Midlands Trains only operates three daily services to the station: two early morning services to Norwich and a late night service to Nottingham.
East Midlands Trains are looking at the possibilities of introducing a northbound service from its new station at
Corby from 2010 which would call also at Melton Mowbray. This would be a major plus for both towns - giving Corby a northbound service and Melton a direct
London service each hour.
