Most of AMGMichael's recent contribution appears to relate to the early history of the Midland Railway and Derby Station - I am doubtful of the relevance of duplicating much of this material in this article? -- Lang rabbie 23:12, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
Surely if you count the two West Bridge stations as separate (which I think you should) you should also count Campbell Street and the Midland as separate, making 9 in total. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.65.106.172 ( talk) 17:41, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
I suggest that Leicester Campbell Street railway station be merged into this article. The current station is on the same site as Campbell Street station. Whilst it is true that it's been subject to significant enlargement and rebuilding, that doesn't normally warrant two articles. Butt (1995) treats them as the same station, renamed three times: Leicester opd. 5 May 1840, ren. Leicester Campbell Street 1 June 1867, ren. Leicester London Road 12 June 1892, ren. Leicester 5 May 1969. -- Redrose64 ( talk) 19:20, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

which groups Campbell St with London Rd (p. 244). The situation is different for Carrington St in that it comes with the following mention under Nottingham Midland - "original terminus was in Carrington St [...] replaced by through station in Station Street 22 May 1848" (p. 297). This tends to indicate that Carrington St was a separate and distinct station.

I have removed the following text from the lead:
because it is misplaced (the introduction should summarise the article, and should not therefore contain more detail than the main body of text). It is also poorly written and completely unsourced; I have also reverted certain recent changes to the section " The station buildings" which are also of doubtful provenance - in the case of the paragraph beginning "The Midland Railway completely rebuilt the station", material that was sourced was changed without explanation. -- Redrose64 ( talk) 23:34, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
The first station on the site opened on 5 May 1840. It was originally known as Leicester Midland , becoming Leicester Campbell Street on 1 June 1867, and Leicester beside London Road from 12 June 1892. [1] Leicester station was remodeled from 1899 until 1994 (New London Road entrance 1899-1890, Swain Street bridge rebuilt 1893 replacing Fox Street bridge, New Glass platform roofs, new interior and rooms (Demolished early 1980s on remodel), and line widening, all took place in these five years. Following the closure of Central on 5 May 1969, this station was re-named Leicester formerly the name of Leicester West Bridge Station in 1832 until 1893 when renamed Leicester West Bridge. [1] Besides London Road and Central, the city of Leicester was served by Belgrave Road, Humberstone Road and West Bridge railway stations.
I have edited this column and if it is edited out please mend the article back to how i wrote it please. that says" there is a five year building program at the Leicester station from 1899 until 1894, and the station was renamed ";leicester station beside London Road not Leicester station London Road, and, also leicester" was not the original name of the station and then renamed "simply leicester in 1969" because the stations original name was "Leicester midland station"(1840-1867), Leicester redbridge was infact opened as simply A "Leicester" in 1832, and renamed "Leicester West Bridge" in 1893.
It is very important to keep a accurate record of the stations history and must be totally correct by 2015 because this is the stations 175th anniversary. Please do not edit the page if you are just in it to graffiti your name we need facts and removing correct data because "you wrote the article first does not give you licence to be incorrect for your own designer sake.PLEASE BE KIND TO THIS PAGE John Johnstone Smith ( talk) 15:06, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

As electrification and IRP etc are all back on the agenda, the article needs an update. I will make a start GRALISTAIR ( talk) 15:23, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
A recent editor has said that trains will be powered by electricity to Wigston and by diesel from there. but will electric power will wait until the wires are fully extended to Leicester. I don't have the sources to check this. Spinney Hill ( talk) 07:17, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
