Seaton railway station

Seaton railway station was a station in Seaton, Rutland. [British Railways Atlas.1947. p.16] It was originally a minor intermediate station on the LNWR's single track Rugby & Stamford line, opened in 1850. In 1879 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.The Uppingham branch closed to passengers in 1960, and the Rugby to Peterborough line and Stamford branch in 1966. The Great Northern's Peterborough to Leicester trains were taken off as a war economy in 1916.Today the station site is a scrapyard.
