Weedon
(1838 - 1958)
Weedon railway station was located to
the north of Weedon Bec in Northamptonshire, England on the West
Coast Main Line. It was a junction station which opened on
September 13 1838 as the starting point of the Weedon to
Leamington Spa branch line
It was a one-bay platform dedicated for terminating branch line
trains
The station also housed a busy goods depot which was attacked by
German aircraft during World War II
Two serious derailments occurred south of the station in 1915
and 1951, killing 10 and 15 people respectively
The station closed for passengers on September 15 1958,
concurrent with closure of the branch to Leamington Spa; it was
demolished soon afterwards
