Glendon and Rushton railway station is a former railway station in Rushton, Northamptonshire. Originally known as Rushton it was opened in 1857 by the Midland Railway on what is now the Midland Main Line. Plans had been made earlier in 1847 for a line from Leicester to Bedford, but had lapsed. However the Midland, running to Rugby at that time and dependent on the LNWR for its path into London, was looking for an alternative. It revived its plans for Bedford to go forward to Hitchin to join the Great Northern Railway At grouping in 1923 it became part of the London Midland and Scottish Railway.
