Two locations identified for potential new Coalville railway station

AS REPORTED in a January article on the New Civil Engineer website by Thomas Johnson, two potential locations have been identified for the construction of a new railway station as part of a project to reinstate an abandoned Leicestershire railway.

The locations for Coalville’s potential future train station would sit on a restored Ivanhoe Line running between Leicester and Burton.

The Ivanhoe Line was closed to passengers in the 1960s when British Railways chair Richard Beeching axed it in his infamous self-titled report. Connecting Burton-upon-Trent with Leicester, the 50km route was recently awarded funding for development as part of the government’s £500M Restoring Your Railway Programme.

Councillors have now discussed two locations that could be feasible for the station. The first site would see it built in a car park overlooking the railway line next to the Belvoir Shopping Centre and Coalville Market Hall building. The other is on a local road, Wolsey Road, in an area fenced off by Network Rail.

The former market building adjacent to the first option itself would not be part of the plan, because the council has put the vacant site on the open market.

North West Leicestershire District Council is also backing the line’s restoration but has previously not been able to confirm the potential sites for Coalville’s station.
