Piddington was a railway station on the former Bedford to Northampton Line.

[citation needed] The line and station were opened in 1872 and operated by the Midland Railway which became part of the London Midland and Scottish Railway in 1923.

[3] For a short while from December 1892, Piddington and Horton were also served by the Stratford-upon-Avon and Midland Junction Railway, known as the "SMJR",[4] with a station called Salcey Forest to the south west of Horton and south east of Piddington.

This line ran from Towcester to Ravenstone Wood Junction on the Northampton to Bedford line between Piddington and Olney stations via Blisworth and Stoke Bruerne.

[6][7] Confusion sometimes occurs as there is a disused railway line close to Piddington itself, however that is the former Stratford and Midland Junction Railway, which had no station at Piddington or Horton except Salcey Forest referred to above.
