Towcester coming back?

[Drone]

Towcester is one of those fairly large towns without a railway station. I wonder if that is due to Dr Beeching?

There was a railway station but its closure predated Beeching

I too hope Towcester reopens, that hill provided many a good spectacle.

Thanks Helcatmudwrestler.

I only started the channel as a by-product of copying races from VHS to DVD. I thought I might as well upload the a few copied races to Youtube and it took off from there.

The channel isn’t monetised and I receive no income from it, as obviously I don’t own the content.

Any annoying adverts are the responsibility of Youtube and/or the copyright owner!

Another set of Aintree races on the way next week.

....and you've got to look a long way back for anything else.

Good spot that Drone, we learn something new every day.
Ive never seen any traces of the old tracks/embankments on my travels around that area.

The old railway station site is now underneath a Tesco store near the bypass. I suspected the building of the A43 bypass obliterated much of the former railway line and the Wikipedia entry for the station states:

‘The Towcester bypass has severed the trackbed near Greens Norton junction, but a section of embankment remains intact to the south of the road.’
