    The present railway station was built to the design of Charles Trubshaw in 1892. The arms that are carved into the side of the railway bridge opposite the station represent the six main towns served by the Midland Railway. Top row from left to right: Birmingham, Derby, Bristol Bottom row from left to right: Leicester, Lincoln, Leeds The bronze life-size statue, which stands just outside the station, was commissioned by the City Council in 1992 to mark the centenary of the death of Thomas Cook. It was executed by James Butler, who was also responsible for the Leicester Seamstress in Hotel Street and the statue to Richard III in Castle Park.
