Kibworth railway station was built by the Midland Railway in 1857 on its extension from Leicester to Bedford and Hitchin and closed in 1968. In recent years it has housed a fencing and wood merchants business but became empty in 2002.

In the early 2000s, there was talk of re-opening the station, but as a number of houses have been built on the car park and the platforms removed, this now seems unlikely.
