Newport Pagnell railway station was a railway station that served Newport Pagnell, Buckinghamshire, on the Wolverton–Newport Pagnell line. Opened in 1867 the station consisted of a brick built station building, and extensive goods facilities.
The last passenger train ran on 5 September 1964 and the last goods train on 22 May 1967. The station site is now under Sheppard's Close, a modern residential development. [1] The trackbed is now a rail trail, part of the Milton Keynes redway system. [2] There is commemorative column on the site of the final signal post just short of the station site. [3]
Motive Power Depot
The London and North Western Railway opened a small motive power depot at the south side of the line near the station in 1886. This was closed 15 June 1955 and demolished. [4]
