When the original Corby station closed in 1966, the town gained the dubious honour of being the largest in Europe without a railway station. In 1970 the town of Corby gained worldwide fame and even had a crater on Mars named in its honour by NASA as a result of a conversation between Apollo 11 astronauts and mission control.
Since 2009, however, travellers to the town have arrived at a brand new station, welcoming hourly trains to Corby from Kettering, with most services originating at London St Pancras.
The station serves as a transport interchange for the town, with bus services leaving from the forecourt on Station Road. The town centre is to the west of the station and is either a twenty-minute walk or six-minute bus ride away. As part of a recent town regeneration scheme, the new Willow Place Shopping Centre was opened, as well as the Corby Cube - a development that includes council offices, a library, and two theatres. Another popular attraction in the town is the Rockingham Motor Speedway, half-an-hour north of the station by bus.
Corby station has a single platform for all services to Kettering and on to London St Pancras. The station building has a ticket office, a coffee shop and toilets, and there is step-free access from the station onto the platform. The taxi rank and bus stops for connections to the town centre can be found on the station forecourt, as can a car park with 60 spaces and stands for 20 bicycles.
Corby train station is open every day that services are running to and from the station. The station usually opens just before the first train of the day leaves and then closes after the last train departs. Ticket office opening hours may vary.
