Ashley and Weston railway station was a station in Northamptonshire, serving the settlements of Ashley and Weston. It was located a few miles east of Market Harborough.
The station opened in 1850 on the Rugby and Stamford Railway and was originally named Medbourne Bridge. It was renamed when Medbourne railway station was opened on the Great Northern and London and North Western Joint Railway. The station closed for regular passenger services on 18 June 1951 but continued to be used by railway staff until 1952
History
Opened by the London and North Western Railway, it became part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway during the Grouping of 1923. The station passed on to the London Midland Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948. It was eventually closed by British Railways.
Extensive sidings were opened in 1904 to handle the amount of coal coming from Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire. To the west was Welham Junction.
The station building survives today as a private residence.
