Stamford Station

Stamford station opened in 1848. The station is 12.5 miles west of Peterborough opened by the Syston and Peterborough Railway, part of the present day Birmingham to Peterborough Line. CrossCountry operate the majority of services as part of their Birmingham to Stansted Airport route. It is owned by Network Rail and operated by East Midlands Trains.
The station was formerly known as Stamford Town to distinguish it from the now closed Stamford East station in Water Street.
The station building is a fine stone structure in Mock Tudor style, influenced by the nearby Burghley House, and designed by Sancton Wood.
