Frisby railway station


Frisby railway station was a former station serving the village of Frisby on the Wreake in Leicestershire. The station was situated at a level crossing on the road to Hoby.

History

The station opened in 1847 on the Syston and Peterborough Railway, but until 1849 it only had a service on Melton market days. It closed in 1961. There were no goods facilities at the station.

Stationmasters

The station masters house was one of the smallest and cheapest on the line between Syston and Melton Mowbray. It was little more than a gatehouse and this may have contributed to the relatively fast turn-over of station masters.
