Heart of the UK

North Northamptonshire’s central location is served by first class infrastructure and communications links.

Offering easy access to the A1, M1 and M6, North Northamptonshire provides companies with unlimited links to all parts of the country.

With more than 90 per cent of global freight now transported by ship, the A14 delivers vital access to the east coast Euro ports. Air travel and shipment is equally convenient with the four international airports of Birmingham, East Midlands, Luton, and Stansted located within a journey time of 90 minutes.

By rail, Kettering and Wellingborough are within one hour journey time to St Pancras International, the key destination for the Eurostar and high-speed rail in the UK.

 

 

 

Back on track

After more than four decades without a direct passenger service to London, Corby’s new railway station was opened in April 2009 meaning the town is now just 1 hour and 14 minutes journey time from St Pancras International and 3½ hours from Paris.
