‘The Stratford Upon Avon & Midland Junction Railway’ (or S.M.J.) was a small independent railway company which ran a line across the empty, untouched centre of England. It visited the counties of Northamptonshire, Warwickshire, Oxfordshire and a little of Buckinghamshire, only existing as the SMJ from 1909 to 1923. In 1923 the S.M.J.became a minor arm of the London Midland and Scottish (L.M.S.), then in 1948 'British Railways' 

Gone but not forgotten: "the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth"

Did this railway (as opposed to the East & West Junction Railway) go into receivership - if so, when. And when did it come out of receivership?Continue

Hi everyone.

I am in the process of updating the SMJ section of the website. Having learnt my lesson a few years ago when John Jennings took me to task for confusing the location of Clifford Sidings and Ettington Limeworks, I would appreciate any help in reviewing the content. I had hoped John would help do this for me but I hadn't realised just how poorly he was. We have lost a great friend and resource to the SMJ Society.

I have more or less finished the section between Fenny Compton to Clifford Sidings plus Bidford and Binton. I am currently working on the Stratford Old Town Pages: station; shed; and locos. I will also be adding a Miscellaneous page to cover relevant SMJ information not geographically specific.

I welcome any corrections and additional information you maybe able to offer. As ever, full acknowledgement will be given. I would like to take this opportunity of thanking the Society for the information they have provided on its website. It's been a tremendous help. Hopefully I have correctly credited people for the information or images when used.

You might be interested to know that the British Library have undertaken to capture the website every six months so it will be preserved as a resource for generations to come. It's part of their digital archiving project.

My email address is mikemusson@hotmail.com

Many thanks

Mike
