Blisworth railway station was opened by the London and Birmingham Railway in Blisworth, Northamptonshire in 1838.

History

The station was opened on 17 September 1838.^[1] In 1845 the L&BR opened their Northampton and Peterborough Railway, a line which connected Peterborough and Northampton from a junction nearby.{{cn|date=December 2018}} In 1853 the station was rebuilt {{convert|805|m|yd}} to the north,^[1] closer to the junction to facilitate changing trains.

In 1846 the line, along with the London and Birmingham, became part of the London and North Western Railway.{{cn|date=December 2018}}

In 1866 a line was opened to Banbury by the Northampton & Banbury Junction Railway.{{cn|date=December 2018}} This railway built a small corrugated iron Motive power depot at the station in 1882 together with a turntable and other servicing facilities.^[2] This was closed in 1929 but locomotives continued to be serviced in the yard until the closure of the station.

At grouping in 1923 it became part of the London Midland and Scottish Railway.{{cn|date=December 2018}}

During the 1950s the morning express from {{rws|Windermere}} to {{rws|Euston}} stopped at {{rws|Crewe}} at 1:00 p.m., called at Blisworth for a connection to Northampton and to make use of the water tower on the up platform, made a further call at {{rws|Bletchley}} at 3:15 p.m. and then ran non-stop from there to Euston.{{cn|date=December 2018}}

The station closed on 4 January 1960.^[1] and was demolished soon after.
