The station was built next to Ratcliffe-on-Soar power station in 2009 [1] as a park and ride station. It is also the closest railway station to East Midlands Airport to which there is a regular minibus shuttle. There have been criticisms though that the station is poorly located and passengers numbers are lower than originally forecast, however it is used three hundred thousand people a year.
The station has four platforms which are linked by a footbridge. The station is staffed and has an eight hundred and fifty space car park. It is managed and served by East Midlands Railway
