Location

Church Brampton was a railway station on the Northampton Loop Line serving the village of Church Brampton in Northamptonshire.

The station was opened on 13 May 1912, to serve the villages of Church Brampton and Harlestone, but primarily the newly opened Northamptonshire Golf Club. It was opened by the London & North Western Railway, which became the London, Midland and Scottish Railway in 1923. The station had a short life of only 19 years, it was closed on 18 May 1931; the reason for the closure was stated to be that most golfers by then arrived by car.^[1] All traces of the station were removed when the line was electrified in the 1960s.
