Melton Mowbray railway station serves the town of Melton Mowbray in Leicestershire, England. It is owned by Network Rail and operated by East Midlands Trains (EMT) train operating company (TOC). The station is on the (as built) Syston and Peterborough Railway, the line is now part of the much bigger Birmingham to Peterborough Line. CrossCountry operate the majority of services as part of their Birmingham to Stansted Airport route. The station lies between Leicester and Peterborough stations. The station was formerly known as Melton Mowbray Town to distinguish it from the now closed Melton Mowbray North on the Great Northern and London and North Western Joint Railway, which closed to regular traffic in 1953. The station has a ticket office which is staffed part-time, a car park and help points for times where there are no staff present. It was refurbished in 2011 with new glass in the platform canopies, resurfaced platforms, passenger information screens, improved disabled access to the 'barrow crossing', a full repaint and a new footbridge to replace the original which was life-expired. The refurbishment of the platforms retained their original size and means that previous plans to extend these by up to by no later than 2012〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Network Rail CP4 Delivery Plan 2009 Enhancements programme: statement of scope, outputs and milestones )〕 will not go ahead in the original timescale. ==Services== From Melton Mowbray there is an hourly service in both directions operated by CrossCountry, with some additional peak-hour trains.
