<b>Market Harborough railway station, Leicestershire, 2008</b><br>Opened in 1885 jointly by the Midland Railway on its line from Bedford to Leicester, and London &amp; North Western Railway on its line from Stamford to Rugby. It replaced separate earlier stations.
View south towards Desborough &amp; Rothwell and Bedford, on the Midland line. The London &amp; North Western Railway platforms were out of view to the right, but have been demolished. Twelve years after this image was taken, the sharp curve was eased by the building of new straight platforms - see <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Market_Harborough_railway_station,_Leicestershire_(geograph_6404226).jpg" title="File:Market Harborough railway station, Leicestershire (geograph 6404226).jpg">SP7487 : Market Harborough railway station, Leicestershire</a> for a 2020 view in the opposite direction.
