Church Brampton railway station

Church Brampton was a railway station on the Northampton Loop Line serving the village of Church Brampton in Northamptonshire.

The station was opened on 13 May 1912, to serve the villages of Church Brampton and Harlestone, but primarily the newly opened Northampton Golf Club. It was opened by the London & North Western Railway, which became the London, Midland and Scottish Railway in 1923. The station had a short life and was closed on 18 May 1931; the reason for the closure was stated to be that most golfers by then arrived by car. [2] All traces of the station were removed when the line was electrified in the 1960s.

Salcey Forest railway station was a short-lived railway station in England, on the Stratford-upon-Avon, Towcester and Midland Junction Railway which opened on 1 December 1892 near the Northamptonshire forest of the same name. The station was not situated near any settlement and only saw passenger services for four months. It is most likely an error of judgement by the railway company which had provided substantial station facilities in expectation of traffic which never came. Salcey Forest station eventually closed on 31 March 1893 and has an arguable claim, along with Stoke Bruern, of having had the shortest passenger service ever provided at any British railway station. Goods facilities were withdrawn in 1952.
