Boughton railway station

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article or section contains information about a planned or expected future railway station. It may contain information of a speculative nature and the content may change dramatically as the construction and/or completion of the railway station approaches, and more information becomes available.

This article refers to the planned station on the Northampton & Lamport Railway. Boughton station on the Great Central Railway closed in 1955.

Boughton is the name of a planned station on the Northampton & Lamport Railway. It will be situated at the southern end of line adjacent to the former Boughton level crossing on the A5199. It is likely that Boughton will be the terminus of the railway for some time as to replace the level crossing will require large amounts of time and money.

The station will consist of a platform and run-round loop, with associated signalling controlled from a new signal box which was formerly installed at Betley Road near Crewe. Adjacent to the station site is The Windhover public house and a care village for the elderly (under construction as of July 2007).

Boughton Crossing is also the southern end of the Brampton Valley Way, part of which will be diverted to make room for the passing loop at the station.
