Old Leake was a railway station on the East Lincolnshire Railway[1] which served the village of Old Leake in Lincolnshire between 1848 and 1964.[2] It originally opened as Hob Hole and was renamed three times within the first five years of opening. Withdrawal of passenger services took place in 1956, followed by goods facilities in 1964. The line through the station remains in use as the Poacher Line.[3]
