Braunston and Willoughby was a railway station situated a couple of miles to the north west of Braunston in Northamptonshire on the former Great Central main line, which served Braunston and the village of Willoughby which it was closer to. This was the last main line to be constructed from the north of England to London, opened in March 1899. Braunston and Willoughby station closed in April 1957 and the line itself in September 1966. To the south of the station was the 13 arch Willoughby Viaduct crossing the River Leam: this viaduct has now gone. Despite its small size, Braunston was once served by two railway stations, both of which are now closed. The first was on the former LNWR Weedon to Leamington Spa branch line, via Daventry, which was located near the marina and closed in September 1958.
