Saxby railway station

The older station was accessed along a turning from the B676 road, now known as Old Station Drive, whereas the newer station building was accessed off the Saxby to Stapleford road on the right before the railway bridge. Inter platform access on the newer station was via three sets of stairs to the road bridge. ==History==

map of railways in the vicinity of Saxby (right) The Syston and Peterborough Railway was opened in stages; the third and last section of line, between and opened for goods traffic on 20 March 1848, and for passengers on 1 May 1848. The station at Saxby opened on 1 February 1849, and was at the north end of a tight curve around a corner of Stapleford Park. The curve was considered unsuitable for express trains running between Kettering and Nottingham via the Manton loop, so an easier curve was built in 1892 together with a new Saxby station, which opened on 28 August 1892. The M&GN line closed to passengers after the last train on 28 February 1959, although the section between Saxby and remained open for goods trains. The station closed on 6 February 1961. The last parts of the new station were completely demolished in late 2014, whereas the old station remains as a private house. ==Routes==
