Donisthorpe railway station is a disused railway station that formerly served the village of Donisthorpe, North West Leicestershire, from 1874 to 1931.[1] The station was on the Ashby and Nuneaton Joint Railway. The site has since been filled in and is now a footpath to Measham and Moira. The only trace of the former railway is the footpath to Measham.[2]
