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.
