London And North Western Railway
All photographs of this railway in date order.
![Poignant disclaimer notice in the Spring 1915 London and North Western Railway timetable. The war that in 1914 <I>would be over by Christmas</I> was continuing and the Battles of the Somme and Ypres were yet to come, although General Manager Calthrop wasn't to know that. With thanks to Tony Roberts for the loan of this fascinating timetable. <br><br>[Mark Bartlett 01/03/1915]](/images/33000/33133.jpg "Plates, signs and notices")
![Here's an original time sheet from my father's days, circa 1968. Total weekly paid hours = 84 and 21 mins! Dad was a driver at Edge Hill and I was a young Drivers Assistant until the depot closed in June 1983, at which point my railway career went off the rails!<br>

BR Timesheet for F. Meredith, Passed Fireman at Edge Hill MPD 10.2.68.<br><br>[Clive Meredith 10/02/1968]](/images/57000/57475.jpg "Edge Hill Shed")
![A 1997 view east from a foot crossing towards Deighton Junction along the mothballed spur running from Bradley Junction, that forms a triangle with the former LNWR line to Huddersfield and the former L&Y Calder Valley line. The line re-opened in 2000 to link with the opening of the new Brighouse Station and creation of a new service using the line between Huddersfield and Halifax<br><br>[David Pesterfield 03/07/1997]](/images/50000/50959.jpg "Deighton")
![An idyllic scene on the former LNWR line through Daventry on 10th February. Given that you can walk around the end of the fence, the stile is possibly somewhat under-utilized. View looks towards Leamington.<br><br>[Ken Strachan 10/02/2012]](/images/37000/37899.jpg "Daventry")
![Only 52 arches of the 82 in Welland viaduct can be seen in this view looking South-East, but it's still mighty impressive. Seaton station, from which a branch to Uppingham and a cross country route to Peterborough diverged to the left of this view, can be seen in the foreground. The awning and footbridge are still standing. Harringworth station - named for a village on the far side of the viaduct in this view - was to the right (South).<br><br>[Ken Strachan 07/06/2015]](/images/51000/51582.jpg "Seaton")
![A close-up view of the Seaton station footbridge [see image 51582] reveals a stucture almost as complex, but probably more decrepit, than that at Wymondham {q.v.}. Nice, isn't it?<br><br>[Ken Strachan 07/06/2015]](/images/51000/51601.jpg "Seaton")
![The new station at Northampton [see image 52330] on a soaking wet Friday night. The previous station building (plan view still shown on the National Rail website) was in the area now used for road vehicle access. View looks South, adjacent to platform 1.<br><br>[Ken Strachan 27/11/2015]](/images/53000/53459.jpg "Northampton")
![Given all the trouble they have taken with the new Northampton station [see image 52348], it's a pity the town street plan is 405 years out of date.<br><br>[Ken Strachan 27/11/2015]](/images/53000/53594.jpg "Northampton")
![Baby no longer on board: two ladies lead their young charge away from a Birmingham-bound 350 at Rugby on 2 December. I had abandoned my car and used the train, as a crucial part of the M1 was closed that morning, and the A5 resembled a linear car park.<br><br>[Ken Strachan 02/12/2015]](/images/53000/53607.jpg "Rugby")
![Unfortunately strong biting winds and frequent snow showers deterred allotment holders from tending their plots adjacent to the Hindlow Branch in Buxton on 17th March 2018 and so they missed the spectacle of a steam hauled passenger train to distract them from their labours. With 45407 (running as 45157) leading and 45690 at the rear the train climbs the 1 in 60 gradient. <br><br>[Malcolm Chattwood 17/03/2018]](/images/63000/63463.jpg "Higher Buxton")
