This is a strange thing! The L&NWR double-track still in

situ running along the northern side of Northampton's Delapre Lake appears to be coming to end at this point with a buffer stop on what would have been the down Wellingborough to Northampton track. However, just beyond the buffer stop, the track continued again running alongside the untruncated down track. Mike and I commented on the condition of the track and many of the sleepers with them looking in excellent order despite not being in use for well over fifty years! Mike also commented that as a young lad he would have travelled along these same metals living on one of the villages along the route to towards Wellingborough.
