‘The Stratford Upon Avon & Midland Junction Railway’ (or S.M.J.) was a small independent railway company which ran a line across the empty, untouched centre of England. It visited the counties of Northamptonshire, Warwickshire, Oxfordshire and a little of Buckinghamshire, only existing as the SMJ from 1909 to 1923. In 1923 the S.M.J.became a minor arm of the London Midland and Scottish (L.M.S.), then in 1948 'British Railways' 

Gone but not forgotten: "the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth"

Easton Neston 1899 map showing the Olney Branch crossing the A43

"I see the line linking the Lloyds sidings with Easton Neston did cross the A43 via a bridge, instead of a level. Has anybody ever managed to obtain a number for this bridge?"
