Peter, belatedly réalisé I never responded to your ‘welcome’ comment, apologies. I have several links to the SMJ, having grown up not so far away at Newport Parnell. My grandfather, a railwayman like his father and grandfather, used the line to travel to Towcester races when I was a boy. Years later my parents bought a house at Tiffield and I regularly jogged along the trackbed towards Blisworth. Finally, as a longtime member of the LNWR Society I have an interest in any railway connecting with or crossing the Premier Line (even that Derby-based one with the horrible red engines!). Best wishes DALT.
I am a differing Stephen Moss! I l lived near Towcester from 1972-1980 before moving away for University. My school backed onto the site of the old station...
