Napton & Stockton
Napton & Stockton, as did Southam & Long Itchington
station, had two platforms with one being served by a passing loop with its
main station facilities being located on the Weedon platform. The station
opened on 1st August 1895 and remained open until it closed to passenger
traffic on 15th September 1958 with its goods service being withdrawn on 2
December 1963.
As at Flecknoe, the station was constructed of timber
throughout, platforms, buildings and passenger staircases that led down to each
platform from either side of the bridge. These were removed at a later date
when the second platform fell out of use and the structure dismantled. Colin
Maggs notes in his book 'Branch Lines of Warwickshire' that a goods yard was
located the other side of the road bridge with a single siding and small goods
shed whilst a factory nearby was served by sidings on the down side.
