Countesthorpe railway station was a railway station serving Countesthorpe in Leicestershire.
The station was on the Midland Counties Railway main line to Rugby, and it opened at some point between 1840 and June 1842.[1] In 1844 the Midland Counties joined the North Midland Railway and the Birmingham and Derby Junction Railway to form the Midland Railway.
In 1857 the Midland completed a new main line south to Hitchin and the Leicester – Rugby section of the Midland Counties was relegated to a branch. British Railways closed the Leicester – Rugby line and its stations, including Countesthorpe which closed on 1 January 1962.[1]
