[2] The contract for the erection of the station was obtained by Groocock and Yates of Leicester in 1847.

[3] The station was opened on 20 March 1848 by the Midland Railway and situated adjacent to a level crossing on the North Luffenham to Duddington road.

The substantial station buildings were of Italianate design and there was a goods shed next to the platform.

The Welland Valley Rail partnership has proposed the reopening of Luffenham station and reinstating the 3.5 mile section of track between Seaton and South Luffenham on the Rugby and Stamford Railway route.

This would enable a service to be introduced from Kettering, through Corby, Luffenham, Stamford, Peterborough, Whittlesea, March and terminating at a rebuilt station at Wisbech.
