Turvey was a railway station on the Bedford to Northampton Line which served the village of Turvey from 1872 to 1962.
Opened by the Bedford and Northampton Railway on 10 June 1872, the station was a mile from the village of Turvey. This was a result of the decision to route the line to the south of Turvey in order to avoid Turvey Abbey and the River Great Ouse. The station was therefore sited near the main road away from the village. However, a small hamlet developed around the station, including a public house called The Railway Inn. An attractive stone building was provided with two platforms. Two sidings looped from the Up line to reach a small goods yard, while a further siding just to the north served cattle pens. A signal box stood at the Olney end of the Down platform. Five trains each way ran on weekdays and none on Sundays.
