Newton Blossomville halt

Is there a better source than http://www.turveybeds.com/railways.html for a halt at Newton Blosonville? A geocaching site says that it is listed in the 1958 timetable. 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 17:30, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

@JMF: There's no entry in Butt (1995), and nothing in the relevant Middleton Press book - Bedford to Wellingborough including Hitchin, Northampton and Higham Ferrers. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 23:01, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

interesting... I deleted a quite detailed assertion from Newton Blossomville because it wasn't cited, not on our line template and not shown on the 1882 25" OS. But "absence of evidence is not evidence of absence", so it seemed only fair to phone a friend. 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 00:02, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

It's odd, because looking at maps, Newton Blossomville would be a suitable place for a halt - the settlement is much closer to the railway than Turvey is to its eponymous station. But I see no station (or halt) marked on old OS maps. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 14:32, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

I wondered it it might be an early morning milk pickup only, and I see an "interesting" field boundary pattern on the modern 1:25,000 OS map [via Streetmap.co.uk] at the suggested location (SP9264351177) Intriguing... --𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 18:36, 1 October 2024 (UTC) The 1952 6" map only has a little wobble there, nothing remarkable. The modern Google aerial imaging (at 52.151049, -0.647121) shows a marginally anomalous clearing. Curiouser and curiouser. --𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 18:49, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
