East Leake Station - bricked up entrance A feature of the Great Central Railway's London extension was the use of island platforms at most of its stations. These were accessed from a road bridge - in most cases where the road crossed over the railway, but sometimes, as here at East Leake, where the road passed underneath. The larger stations had a booking office at road level but elsewhere steps gave access to a booking office on the platform. East Leake station closed in 1969 and the entrance has since been bricked up. Proposals to reopen it as a heritage station have been opposed locally, a principal reason being the difficulties of access directly off a busy road.

Station Road, East Leake West Leake Road becomes Station Road just before the railway bridge where Birch Lea leads off to the left. The entrance to the station, which closed in 1969, was under the bridge but is now bricked off. The railway above survived, and is still in situ, to give access for freight trains to the British Gypsum works at Hotchley Hill. It will become part of a heritage line running south from Ruddington and connecting with the Great Central Railway at Loughborough.
