Road directions
From Northampton, head out towards Welford on the A5199. When you reach Chapel Brampton, take the right hand turn (towards Pitsford, Brixworth etc) The turning for the railway is on the left just before the railway bridge.
Parking
The railway has its own car parking, and there are also places to park in the nearby pub-car park if your passengers fancy a quick pint (or two!)
Amenities
The station has toilets, and there is also a restaurant carriage, which is currently tucked away behind the shop (2008), but it is there and serves all kinds of snacks.
There is a pub at the main entrance to the railway, but please consider also trying these: Spencer Arms in Chapel Brampton. Fox and Hounds at Harlestone. The Windhover (off Brampton lane, a stones through from the lines southern extension). This is quite a new pub, but does serve good food, and more importantly, fine ale!
Photographic notes
Shots on this line are very difficult and limited, but one never shys from a challenge! There is a pathway which runs parallel with the line to the north, but the sun will be wrong side here from late morning (see figure 6) However, on a dull day, you can at least capture something! (figure 5). Shots from the platform itself is usually right for the sun in the afternoon/evening(figures 4 and 7)
