Corby railway station

Corby railway station, owned by Network Rail and managed by East Midlands Trains (EMT), is in Corby, Northamptonshire, England. The current station, opened on 23 February 2009, replaces an earlier one dating from 1879 and first closed on 18 April 1966, reopened between 1987 and 1990.
Plans for the current station, opposite the original, were approved in late 2007. It opened with just one daily train each way on Mondays to Fridays. The full current service of hourly trains to and from London began on 27 April 2009, after East Midlands Trains had taken delivery of the additional trains needed for its implementation.
==History==
The Midland Railway opened Corby station in 1879. It was on the Midland's "alternative route" between and , serving Corby, and instead of , and Loughborough. The station was initially named "Weldon and Corby" to avoid confusion with Corby Glen station in Lincolnshire, which closed in 1959.〔 British Railways (BR) withdrew passenger services from all stations on the Oakham to Kettering Line, including Corby, in May 1967. For some decades Corby was one of the largest towns in Europe without a railway station (claimed as ''the'' largest in an episode of Series C of BBC TV show QI in 2005); only a few, such as Herten in Germany and Łomża in Poland, are larger.
BR kept the Oakham to Kettering line through Corby open for freight and as a diversionary route. It reduced the southern end of the line from Glendon Junction (near Kettering) to Corby to single track in 1986 after the closure of the town's steel works saw freight traffic levels decline.〔 On 13 April 1987 a passenger service of 11 shuttle trains daily between Corby and , usually operated by a single DMU, was reintroduced with local council subsidy.〔 More than 100,000 people used the service within the first 12 months and an extension to Leicester was proposed. However, the service became unreliable and the council withdrew its subsidy, leading Network Southeast to withdraw the service on 2 June 1990.〔
