Welford Road railway station was a railway station built by the London and North Western Railway to allow their staff to collect passenger tickets from LNWR trains entering Leicester from the south.
[1] It was situated immediately south of the road bridge carrying Welford Road above the line, less than 1 mile from Leicester station.
Later in the station's (brief) history, passengers were allowed to alight here, with trains stopping here only on Wednesdays and Saturdays to serve the cattle market.
[2] No platform was ever built to serve the southbound line.
