    ‘The Stratford Upon Avon & Midland Junction Railway’, as ‘The Stratford Upon Avon & Midland Junction Railway’ only existed from 1909 to 1923 when, enter the ‘big Four’, it became an arm of the L.M.S. Before that there was 'The East & West Junction Railway', 'The Evesham, Redditch and Stratford Railway', and changing its name to ‘The Stratford-upon-Avon, Towcester and Midland Junction Railway’, ‘The Easton Neston Mineral and Towcester, Roade and Olney Junction Railway’. In 1910 ‘The Northampton & Banbury Junction Railway’ (the N+BJR) was amalgamated into the S.M.J. too and as the S.M.J. the company ran services between Broom Junction and Stratford and Banbury to the west through Towcester to Blisworth and Olney in the east, fashioning itself as ‘The Shakespeare route’.
