The brick structure that spans the lines and the ends of the platforms seen in this photograph is all that remains of the Leicester (London Road) station structure that was opened in 1894 for the Midland Railway having been designed by Charles Trubshaw. The rest of the buildings were wiped away in 1978 when the station underwent its third re-build giving us what we have today. 222006 arrives at the station working the 13.58 London St. Pancras to Sheffield 1F40 service.
