History
The station was opened by the London and Birmingham Railway on 2 June 1845, and was named Higham Ferrers. It was renamed Higham Ferrers and Irthlingborough on 28 April 1885, and renamed Irthlingborough on 1 October 1910. It was closed to passengers by British Railways on 4 May 1964. It was part of the former Northampton and Peterborough Railway line which connected Peterborough and Northampton. In 1846 the line, along with the London and Birmingham Railway, became part of the London and North Western Railway.
