I seem to recall an earlier attempt to reinstate passenger trains (and, thus, stations) there were objections to a station being built at somewhere on the outskirts of Leicester (Kirby Muxloe or Leicester Forest East, I think). They preferred to commute into Leicester rather than have a large carpark built where they didn't want it - it was several years ago, now, though so I may be remembering wrongly and opinions may have changed with roads being even more clogged up nowadays.
In a way, it's still a 'passenger line' as railtours do occasionally use the line
