Class 108 DMU at Kettering

×

Details

A Class 108 DMU (53628 + 54279) forms the 16.37 Kettering - Corby departing from Kettering on 25 May 1990, during the last week of service of the experimental Kettering-Corby service.

Corby station had been closed in May 1967, but was re-opened on an experimental basis in April 1987. This service was withdrawn as from 2 June 1990. The closure left Corby as, allegedly, the largest town in Europe without a rail service, and, in the ensuing years, there were various proposals for trains to serve Corby once again. But it would be nearly 19 years until East Midlands Trains re-introduced a regular service, including through trains to London, to the town.
