As well as providing interchange between the lines, the station served the village of Blisworth in Northamptonshire and its environs.

[citation needed] The station was rebuilt 805 metres (880 yd) to the north in 1853,[1] closer to the junction, to facilitate changing trains.

[2] This railway built a small corrugated iron motive power depot at the station in 1882, together with a turntable and other servicing facilities.

[citation needed] During the 1950s the morning express from Windermere to Euston stopped at Blisworth for a connection to Northampton and to make use of the water tower on the up platform.

The Blisworth Hotel facing the station, now The Walnut Tree Inn, remains in business.
