Passenger business was carried out at the "Railway Hotel" when the line opened in 1833 until the first Coalville station was opened by the Midland Railway in 1848, replaced in 1894 and closed in 1964, although the line remains in use for freight.[2] HistoryThe Leicester and Swannington Railway was originally built to carry coal and there was little provision for any passenger traffic. When the railway opened at Long Lane, now Coalville, in 1833 passenger business had to be carried out at the "Railway Hotel" adjacent to the level crossing.[2] The first proper Coalville station was opened in 1848 after the line had been taken over by the Midland Railway. This in turn was rebuilt in 1894, being renamed Coalville Town in 1924 to distinguish it from {{rws|Coalville East}} on the rival Charnwood Forest Railway. British Railways closed Coalville Town on 7 September 1964 when passenger services were ended on the line. The line remains open for freight only.[1] Coalville Town was the most important station between Leicester and Burton-on-Trent and was built to fuller dimensions to reflect this. The station was to the north of the A50 road beside the level crossing, which was controlled by a signal box[3][4] that was removed in 1986 and re-erected at the former Snibston Colliery.[5] All the other station buildings have been demolished. The former Railway pub next to the level crossing is now a children's nursery. Motive power depot{{unreferenced section|date=July 2011}}British Railways closed Mantle Lane motive power depot at Coalville in 1990. Its "Category A" status was a clerical error, and was in fact a "Category C".{{Clarify |reason=This terminology will be obscure to most readers |date=July 2011}} The British Railways depot on the site was unusual in that it had no fuelling points, fitters or any other shed facilities. Locomotives would be taken in ferries{{Clarify |reason=This terminology will be obscure to most readers |date=July 2011}} to nearby {{rws|Burton-on-Trent}} (until it closed) or {{rws|Leicester}} for refuelling, water and sandbox filling. This perhaps shows why it was a surprise to find it as an A-listed depot.{{Clarify |reason=This terminology will be obscure to most readers |date=July 2011}} Little remains at the site which hints at its formerly busy railway past. Two tracks remain where once lay four 'on shed' as it were.{{Clarify |reason=This terminology will be obscure to most readers |date=July 2011}} Reopening proposalsIn the 1990s BR planned to restore passenger services between Leicester and Burton as the second phase of its Ivanhoe Line project. However, after the privatisation of British Rail in 1995 this phase of the project was discontinued. In 2009 the Association of Train Operating Companies published a £49 million proposal to restore passenger services to the line that would include reopening a station at Coalville.{{ATOCConnectingCommunitiesReportS10|page=19}} {{Historical Rail Start}}{{rail line two to two |previous1={{rws|Bardon Hill}}Line open, station closed |previous2={{rws|Hugglescote}} Line open, station closed |next1= {{rws|Swannington}} Line open, station closed |next2= branch to Coleorton Tramway Line and station closed |route=Midland Railway Leicester to Burton upon Trent Line|col={{MR colour}}}}{{end}} References1. ^1 {{cite book |last=Butt |first=RVJ |year=1995 |title=The Directory of Railway Stations |place=Yeovil |publisher=Patrick Stephens Ltd |isbn=1-85260-508-1 |page=}}{{page needed|date=September 2016}} {{Closed stations Leicestershire and Rutland}}2. ^1 Clinker, C.R.
