Bridge 13

Spratton Station
This wayside station was an afterthought. The people of Spratton were upset that they were expected to walk to the next station up the line which was situated nearer to Brixworth. As a result a very basic station with no goods facilities was built by the LNWR after the line opened. More

Brixworth Station
This was one of the larger stations on the line, it had a small goods yard with a goods shed that latterly saw use as a timber yard. More
