This is the current northern limit of the Northampton and Lamport Railway. Beyond the buffers is bridge 14 that requires a lot of work before the track can be laid and trains allowed to cross. The NLR has ambitions to open an extension to Merry Tom Lane a short distance beyond the photograph. The line's current focus is on their southern extension to Boughton crossing where a new station is being built. At the time of writing, bridge 11 is closed for re-proofing, the final barrier preventing the southern extension opening.
