Corby Trouser Press

Much excitement at Corby where Network Rail has built a beautiful new station (on time).

Unfortunately intending passengers will now have to wait until March for the service to begin.

Deputy leader of Corby Council Mark Pengelly said: "This is shambolic. We will have a train station by December 14 so North Northants Development Company and English Partnerships have done their bit. The people who have let us down are the private rail companies. They have had a year to find the trains."

Perhaps First group, owner of Hull Trains, can explain the delay?
