Altogether three railway stations have borne the name Lutterworth, but only one was actually in the town. The first was "Ullesthorpe & Lutterworth," about 5 km (3 miles) to the north west, on the former Midland Railway (later part of the LMS) line from Rugby to Leicester, closed in January 1962. The second was "Welford & Kilworth", at one time known as "Welford & Lutterworth," some 8 km (5 miles) east on the London and North Western Railway (also later LMS) line from Rugby to Market Harborough and Peterborough, closed in June 1966. The third (the one that was actually in Lutterworth), was on the Great Central Railway mentioned above (later part of the LNER), the last main line to be constructed from the north of England to London, opened in March 1899. Detractors of the Great Central will point out that Lutterworth was the only town along its whole route not previously served directly by another line, and that the Great Central's presence had no real effect on the town, since it remained at roughly the same size throughout the line's existence, only growing substantially since its closure in May 1969. The Midland Railway (MR) was a railway company in the United Kingdom, which existed from 1844 to 1922. ...

Sir Frank Whittle Lutterworth's other main claim to fame is that Frank Whittle, inventor of the jet engine, developed some of the world's first jet engines at the British Thomson-Houston works in Lutterworth, and in nearby Rugby, during the late 1930s and the 1940s. The engine for the UK's first jet aeroplane the Gloster E.28/39 was produced in Lutterworth. A statue of the plane stands in the middle of a roundabout just south of the town as a memorial.
