Great Glen railway station was built by the Midland Railway in 1857 on its extension from Leicester to Bedford and Hitchin.
Originally simply Glen, it was later renamed Glen Magna before receiving its final name. Passengers services finished in 1951, while goods services continued it was unstaffed in 1962, finally closing in 1964. The station houses remain and are occupied by a commercial business.[1]
