Newport Pagnell railway station served the town of Newport Pagnell, in Buckinghamshire, England, between 1867 and 1967. It was the north-eastern terminus of the Wolverton–Newport Pagnell line.
History Opened in 1867, the station consisted of a brick built station building and extensive goods facilities.
The London and North Western Railway opened a small motive power depot in 1886, at the south side of the line, near to the station. This was closed on 15 June 1955 and was demolished.Griffiths, Roger; Smith, Paul; The Directory of British Engine Sheds:1 (Oxford Publishing Co., 1999), p.117. .
The last passenger train ran on 5 September 1964 and the last goods train on 22 May 1967.
The site today The station site is now under Sheppard's Close, a modern residential development. The trackbed is now a rail trail, part of the Milton Keynes redway system. There is a commemorative column on the site of the final signal post just short of the station site.
