Passengers have been warned no trains will stop at a Leicestershire railway station on Sunday due to upgrade work.

Network Rail said it was nearing a major milestone in its project to electrify the line between Kettering and Wigston.

The firm says by the weekend it will have installed half of the foundations needed for the latest phase of the Midland Main Line upgrade.

As a result, no services will stop at Market Harborough on Sunday.
