LMS Route: Leamington to Weedon

Napton & Stockton Station: lnwrn&s4382

Looking towards Marton Junction from the down platform with the up platform on the right. Note the point rodding and cables running between the platform face and rail. There are two sets, one heading towards, under and beyond the bridge to operate the points and signals at the far end. The points were effectively a three way point, one turnout going into the single road siding and the other two serving both platforms. The other set of rodding went to the points and two signals at the Daventry end of the station. One of two signals was located at the end of the up platform and controlled traffic entering the single line section to Flecknoe. The other was on the opposite side and sited a little further towards Daventry. It controlled access to the station and the next section. It was a taller structure to aid siting for the drivers who had to contend with a bridge approaching the station.
