Can you confirm what the position is with Barkston station on the Great Northern Railway Main Line, before we accessed the GNR Grantham to Boston line

 

[Darren R]

OS maps confirm a north - east curve north of Barkston, allowing us to run direct between Hougham and Honnington without the need to reverse at Barkston.

That is interesting. I do have a copy of the Great Northern Railway timetable book which covers the onwards period from 28th July 1887 (price one penny) that shows services stopping at both Hougham and Barkston, where a line bifurcation occurred.
