East Midlands Parkway Railway Station

East Midlands Parkway railway station is located north of Ratcliffe-on-Soar on the Midland Main Line in the East Midlands of England. It provides park and ride facilities for rail passengers on the routes from Leicester to Derby and Nottingham. It is also the closest station to East Midlands Airport, some 4 miles away, but there is no public transport connection between the airport and the station.
The site of the station is in southwest Nottinghamshire, about 500 metres from the border with Leicestershire and 1 kilometre from that with Derbyshire, between the stations at Loughborough, Long Eaton and Attenborough. The initial shuttle bus service linking the station and the airport has ceased. The main station building and the 850 vehicle car park are to the west of the line, opposite Ratcliffe-on-Soar Power Station. Road access is via the A453, which provides a link to the nearby M1 motorway.
The Midland Main Line is not electrified north of Bedford; therefore, all services are operated by diesel trains. This is set to change by 2019 when a scheme to electrify the remainder of the line is due to be completed.
