Seaton railway station was a station serving the villages of Seaton, Rutland, and Harringworth, Northamptonshire.




History


It was originally a minor intermediate station on the London and North Western Railway single track Rugby and Stamford Railway line, which opened in 1850. In 1873 it became a junction when the LNWR double tracked the line from Rugby to Seaton and opened a new double track line thence to Wansford. Rugby to Peterborough was then operated as the main line and Seaton to Stamford as a branch line. In 1894 the branch line to Uppingham was opened.




Midland Railway


The Midland Railway Kettering to Manton line passes over the Welland Viaduct a third of a mile to the east, and slightly to the north thereof, passed over the Peterborough and Stamford lines and the Uppingham twice. There was never a connection. The nearest station on the Midland was 1 mile away at Harringworth.




Closure


The Uppingham branch closed to passengers in 1960, and the Rugby to Peterborough line and Stamford branch in 1966. The Great Northern Railway operated a service between Peterborough North and Leicester Belgrave Road between 1883 and 1916, when the service was withdrawn as a war economy.
Today the station site is a private home and scrapyard and the station building itself is now at least in part a private residence.
