Quorn and Woodhouse railway station is a heritage station on the Great Central Railway (preserved) serving the villages of Quorn and Woodhouse in Leicestershire, England. It is situated between Loughborough Central and Rothley. Quorn is laid out to appear as it would in the 1940s, as a typical rural LNER station. The original signal box was demolished following the line's closure; a replacement was obtained from Market Rasen and dates from 1886, making it the oldest structure on the railway.
