I thought about Queniborough (which was between Syston and Rearsby) - but it was an ROF halt so I think (under Rule 13) cannot be included - in which case

Rearsby

Is this the same station that the Nene Valley Railway took over in 2007?

Re Fletton Junction -- my usual scapegoat: Tony Dewick's Complete Atlas, and my ill-advised tendency to take that tome, and him, as omniscient. Complete Atlas (publ. date 2002) shows Fletton Junction as a closed station at the divergence point of the East Coast Main, and the Fletton loop leading into the ex-LNW route west out of Peterborough. I had assumed from Dewick, that it must have been a passenger station in the days of the GNR / LNWR passenger service between Peterborough and Leicester Belgrave Road via Seaton (withdrawn 1916): consulting other sources would seem to suggest "no such thing" -- its becoming a station via NVR doings in 2007, only coincidental. I'm about to strike it out.

On with the game: Barnwell

For interest (not affecting postings) - I think Fletton Junction was a goods station in GNR/LNWR days. I can see that the NVR owns the Fletton Branch as far as the gate at 0m 6ch from the junction with the ECML and runs occasional brake van rides along the branch, but I don't see any trace of a station there now.
