Brilliant, another outstanding video which I really enjoyed. So grateful for the time and effort you put in to give us wonderful entertainment. Thank you
Thank you so much for sharing this. I've always been intrigued by the history of this line, especially since I live nearby and have encountered it before. Interestingly enough, I stumbled upon your channel today and then searched for this line, coincidentally, it was uploaded less than two weeks ago.
Piddington & Horton is the incorect name for that station. It was in fact called Piddington station (in Horton) Horton station used to be the top side of the village of Piddington on a different line. I grew up in Piddington and the farmer I worked for owned the stretch of land Horton station was on. There is still plenty of old brickwork there of the old platform. Piddington station (near Horton) was converted in to a house.
My father was a goods guard based at Northampton in the 1950s then we emigrated to Australia in 1956 he must have seen the end of various railway lines! Which happened in australia as well!

Every year local community groups say they've found a feasible way to reopen this route (which is needed now more than ever as the 41 isn't sufficient for public transport), and every year it goes nowhere.
I was amazed at how much of the line has not been built on. Getting through Northampton is a problem though & if the line cannot serve the current station there, then it loses much of its value. Oxford-Bletchley is only just about to be re-opened but that is part of a more useful east-west route & none of the track bed was ever re-developed.
Amazing, enjoyed that,lots of attention to detail with maximum effort put in! another great channel to match your other one !
Brilliant. So much to take in. Very nicely done.
Thanks! I am hoping to bring to life all the lost lines eventually! suggestions welcome.
1982 Olney station still there. Didn't pay much attention then , unfortunately. Thanks for sharing.

Pity that there is no pictures of Northampton St Johns. Otherwise another good video. Do Northampton to Market Harborough sometime

Enjoyed that, thanks
Marvellous insight of a sadly lost branch. Much appreciated your efforts for giving me 15 minutes or so of simple pleasure.
Omg amazing! Are you going to do Peterborough to Northampton via Oundle? 😊😊
