oxendon tunnel

Oxendon Tunnel is a disused railway tunnel in Northamptonshire. The line between Northampton and Market Harborough opened in 1859 and had two tunnels, Oxendon and nearby Kelmarsh Tunnel. The tunnel was originally built for single track, and when the line was doubled, a second single-track tunnel was built. The "up line" tunnel is 453 yards long while the "down" line is 462 yards. Due to the small bore, the tunnels were known as "the rat-holes" by train drivers. The former "up" line tunnel at Oxendon is open as part of the Brampton Valley Way, a linear park which runs from Boughton level crossing on the outskirts of Northampton to Little Bowden near Market Harborough, on the former railway trackbed.
