Oakham is the only surviving passenger railway station in Rutland. The line is served by Cross Country trains between Birmingham New Street and or . Until recently, the line from Oakham to Kettering via Corby (which branches off just east of Oakham) was rarely used by passenger trains, being almost exclusively a freight line, but now infrequent East Midlands Trains services to London St Pancras, as well as occasional diversionary trains which would have used the Midland Main Line serve the station.
