Leicester Station Gets £32M Revamp | Leicester News

Leicester City Council is finally getting serious about revamping its historic railway station, injecting £10 million from a stalled road project to boost the total investment to over £32 million — a move the mayor says could finally kickstart construction by spring 2028, wrapping up by 2030. The ambitious plan includes relocating the main entrance to Station Street, car-free zones, expanded passenger areas, and a new public space — all while restoring the station’s iconic facade. Critics worry the ballooning costs mirror HS2’s woes, but the council insists this landmark gateway deserves a modern upgrade. Meanwhile, the St Margaret’s Way junction project is being reworked for a more modest £5 million, aiming to balance big dreams with budget reality.
