Raunds railway station
Raunds railway station is a railway station that once served the town of Raunds in Northamptonshire, England. The railway station was an intermediate stop on the Kettering, Thrapston and Huntingdon Railway line that closed in 1959. The railway station was fairly inconveniently situated  from the town itself. At one time there were plans to extend the Wellingborough - Higham Ferrers branch to Raunds, but the plan was blocked by land owners. The Manchester, Sheffield & Lincolnshire Railway (the forerunner of the Great Central Railway) proposed a line from Doncaster to Raunds in an early version of its bid to build a trunk line to the capital. This line never came to fruition, and the company eventually built its London Extension via Nottingham, Leicester, Rugby and Brackley. See also
