Leicester's stations
Part of a street map of Leicester, undated but probably from around 1960. Six railway stations are marked, although that of West Bridge had been goods only since 1928! All are now closed except for London Road; Humberstone and Belgrave Road (GNR) were early casualties with normal services ceasing in 1953, although summer Saturday traffic continued until 1962. Humberstone Road on the Midland main line shut up shop in 1968, whilst the great loss that was Leicester Central, followed during the following year.
Also indicated as big red dots are "Midland Red Bus Stations", although I guess that these were mainly city terminal points.
