Leicester railway station

Leicester railway station, (formerly Leicester London Road), is a railway station serving the city of Leicester in Leicestershire, England. It was originally opened in 1840 by the Midland Counties Railway, and rebuilt in 1894. Today it is operated by East Midlands Trains, and it is on the main line from London St Pancras to Sheffield and Nottingham.
The railway through Leicester is not electrified, so all services are operated by diesel trains. This is set to change when a scheme to electrify the remainder of the Midland Main Line is to be completed. This, along with faster line speeds, means the city will be under 60 minutes from the capital. Work had commenced on the electrification works with some bridges raised to accommodate the necessary Overhead line equipment though a recent announcement by the Department for Transport has indefinitely put the Midland Main Line electrification on hold.
==Background==
The first station on the site opened on 5 May 1840. It was originally known simply as ''Leicester'', becoming ''Leicester Campbell Street'' on 1 June 1867, and ''Leicester London Road'' from 12 June 1892. This was replaced in 1894 by a new station, also called ''Leicester London Road''. Following the closure of Central on 5 May 1969, this station was renamed ''Leicester''.〔
Besides London Road and Central, the city of Leicester was served by Belgrave Road, Humberstone Road and West Bridge railway stations.
