Schematic plan showing the lines from Northampton and Euston at
the top and Market Harborough at the bottom. The Northampton route incorporated
an up loop line which allowed slow moving trains to be held until faster trains
had passed by. A similar facility was made available on the main line to
Euston. Hillmorton sidings consisted of six sets and was located next to the
Signal Cabin as seen in image 'lnwrrm2622'. The
line from Market Harborough was originally double track from Clifton Mill but
when the new line was built forming a junction with the Northampton line at
Clifton Road Junction, one set of rails was used for part of the bidirectional
engine line.
