Wansford Tunnel

It was on the Blisworth to Peterborough line, opened in 1845 by the London and Birmingham Railway.

A siding is partially contained within the tunnel, entering at the eastern end.

The tunnel is 616 yards long and has no ventilation shafts.

[1][citation needed] Just to the west of the tunnel the NVR has opened a new station, Yarwell Junction railway station, which opened to the public in 2007.

The hamlet of Sibson lies atop the hill through which the tunnel is bored.
