Leiston railway station was a station in Leiston, Suffolk. It was opened in 1859 by the East Suffolk Railway and later became part of the Great Eastern Railway on its 8.5 miles branch line from Saxmundham to Aldeburgh. It was closed in 1966 as part of the Beeching Axe as much of the British rural rail network was cut back. Today the old station survives intact, as the line is still used to service the nearby nuclear power station at Sizewell.
Passenger services lasted up until 1966 when the line closed to passengers. In August 1967, the track between Aldeburgh and Sizewell siding was taken up using steam cranes. By 1969, all that remained was one single line to Sizewell. In 2005, The line through the station was used for staff road training.
