Ingarsby ( Thurnby ) Tunnel in Leicestershire

In 1882, the Great Northern and London & North Western railways opened a ten-mile spur from their mainline into Leicester. The company created a new terminus at Belgrave Road. The line opened for goods traffic on 2 October 1882 and for passengers on 2 July 1883.

One line’s most notable structure was a tunnel of 516 yards (471 metres) between Ingarsby and Thurnby. The former being the provider of its official name.
