Clipston and Oxendon railway station on the
Oxendon tunnel. It was part of the London and North Western Railway.[2]
The station lost its passenger service on 4 January 1960. The line was re-opened for limited periods after that and not closed completely until 15 August 1981. The Heritage
Northampton & Lamport Railway hopes that it may eventually re-open the route.[3]
