Syston railway station ( ) is a railway station serving the town of Syston in Leicestershire, England. The station is on the Midland Main Line from Leicester to Loughborough, 103¾ miles from London St Pancras. For journeys beginning at Syston, the full range of tickets for travel for any destination in the country may be purchased from the guard on the train at no extra cost. It is a penalty fare station however, so a permit to travel must be bought from the machine installed on the platform before joining the train. ==Early history== The station was opened on 5 May 1840 as a minor intermediate station on the Midland Counties Railway line from Leicester to Nottingham and Derby.〔Higginson, M, (1989) ''The Midland Counties Railway: A Pictorial Survey,'' Derby: Midland Railway Trust.〕 Shortly afterwards, the Midland Counties merged with the North Midland Railway and the Birmingham and Derby Junction Railway to form the Midland Railway. Syston became a junction station on 1 September 1846 with the opening of the Syston and Peterborough Railway to Melton Mowbray, which was extended in 1848 to Peterborough.〔Radford, B., (1983) ''Midland Line Memories: a Pictorial History of the Midland Railway Main Line Between London (St Pancras) & Derby'' London: Bloomsbury Books〕 The north to east curve was opened in 1854. A replacement station was opened in 1874 when the Midland Main Line was increased from two to four tracks.〔British Railways Pre-Grouping Atlas and Gazetteer.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Syston railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
