[edit] Future

Former operator Central Trains has been replaced by a new company called East Midlands Trains from November 2007 which operates all services in the East Midlands. The franchise is operated by the Stagecoach group who have expressed an interest in running Sunday service from December 2008 but it is unknown if this station will be included for a Sunday service.
