Location

East Norton railway station served the village of East Norton, Leicestershire, England. The station was located approximately half a mile east of the village, on the north side of the road between Uppingham and Leicester, now part of the A47.[1] It was situated on the Great Northern and London and North Western Joint Railway.

The station opened on 15 December 1879 and closed to passengers on 7 December 1953.[2]

The station buildings have since been demolished, and the site has been landscaped, leaving no visible trace of the former railway infrastructure.
