Byfield railway station

Byfield railway station was a railway station serving Byfield in the English county of Northamptonshire.

The line was opened by the East and West Junction Railway between Stratford-upon-Avon and Towcester in 1873. It was not very successful and in 1877 the two trains a day in each direction were discontinued. However, in 1899 the London extension of the Great Central Railway was opened through Woodford Halse which brought extra traffic. Great Central services reached Byfield via Woodford South Curve which was built at the same time. Bradshaw's timetable for August 1899 shows the 5.20pm from Marylebone terminating at Byfield, where it arrived at 7.36pm, 11 minutes after calling at Culworth. The curve was officially closed on 22 October 1900, but the rails remained in-situ for many years afterwards although the points were disconnected.
