Is there a train station in Corby ?

Question

And what's it called?

I might go there on 16th August to watch The Bluebells play The Steelmen !

Answer 1

No there isn't at present, but the new holders of the franchise, East Midlands Trains indicated an intention of reitroducing at least a shuttle service to Corby and possibly a full service to the east midlands via Corby, Melton Mowbray and Oakham. Contracts for the reconstruction of Corby station have been let (http://www.northants-chamber.co.uk/chamb... but the latest estimate is that the station will not reopen before December - certainly not by the date you mention (which also happens to be mu birthday!). On that date you will have to travel via Kettering and the X1 rail-bus link.
