<b>Market Harborough railway station, Leicestershire</b><br>Opened in 1885 jointly by the Midland Railway on its line from Bedford to Leicester, and the London &amp; North Western Railway on its line from Stamford to Rugby. It replaced separate earlier stations dating back to 1850.
<p>View north towards East Langton and Leicester, on the Midland line. The platforms had just been straightened to ease the former curve (see <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Market_Harborough_railway_station,_Leicestershire,_2008_(geograph_3777413).jpg" title="File:Market Harborough railway station, Leicestershire, 2008 (geograph 3777413).jpg">SP7487 : Market Harborough railway station, Leicestershire, 2008</a> for a 2008 view in the opposite direction).

The London &amp; North Western Railway platforms were out of view to the left, but have been demolished.
