The 1923 OS map shows part of an embankment for a west to south chord at Kings Sutton Junction, but it looks as though it was never completed.

Sorry about Kings Sutton - got so interested in the historical maps that I forgot to check whether it was still open! It's odd because I have travelled along that route on Cross-Country dozens of times without noticing the station.
