Route of former SMJR, SP751508
Route of former SMJR, SP751508 Looking westwards along the route of the former Stratford-upon-Avon and Midland Junction Railway route towards Stoke Bruerne and Towcester sees a section of the trackbed cleared. Roade's new bypass will pass from left to right at this spot with a large roundabout at the spot where it rejoins the existing route just off to the left. This is the first time that the trackbed of the SMJR has been exposed in this way for many years with regular services having been withdrawn on this section in 1958. However, this section of the line remained in use for a number of years being used to store lines of redundant and withdrawn stock that made for some incongruous scenes!
