Work starts on £10m rail station

Work on a £10.2m railway station for Corby in Northamptonshire has started this week.

Corby is currently the largest town in Britain without a station and the new facility will offer services to destinations including London.

Network Rail said it had appointed Dean and Dyball to build the new station.

Dyan Crowther, Network Rail route director, said: “This new rail link will give Corby the chance to take the greener option of the rail.”

The Government organisation is still thrashing out the details for the timetable to be drawn up by East Midlands Trains, which will be running the service, but has said the plan is to have the service in place for the end of the year.

Banners have gone up at the site to remind Corby residents they will be able to travel to the capital from the town in the near future.

Contractors are on site in Station Road putting in infrastructure.
