Trains to Kettering - Station Details and further Information on Kettering Train Services
Kettering train station is to the south-west of the Kettering town centre in Northamptonshire, England. It lies on the Midland Main Line, 72 miles north of London St. Pancras and is served primarily by slower East Midlands Trains Class 222 "Meridian" services, with HST services at peak times.
Through-fares were made available from 68 UK towns and cities to Paris, Brussels and other destinations in France and Belgium in late 2007, which must be booked through Eurostar.
Being relatively close to London, the frequency of trains to the capital in the morning and evening peak is excellent for commuting, with a train running (occasionally non stop) every twenty minutes with the quickest journeys taking forty-five minutes.
There is a half-hourly service to London St. Pancras and to Nottingham via Leicester or Corby both operated by modern Meridian trains. In the morning and evening services are extended to Lincoln via Newark and Melton Mowbray via Corby.
Faster East Midlands Trains services to/from Leeds, Sheffield, Nottingham and Derby run through at high speed, but do not stop. Interchange with Faster services can be made at Leicester and St Pancras.
The weekend sees trains operating to York and in the summer months there are also weekend trains to Scarborough. EMT plan to run a through service (possibly around 2010) to Skegness, although this depends on when Network Rail have completed track upgrade works. |
