Currently it has one passenger station in operation, at Corby. Current serviceCorby railway station is served by one train per hour to and from London {{rws|St Pancras}} via {{rws|Kettering}}, {{rws|Wellingborough}}, {{rws|Bedford}} and {{rws|Luton}}.[2] The minimum journey time between Corby and London is 1 hour and 14 minutes.[2] There is a limited service north of Corby to {{rws|Derby}} via {{rws|Oakham}}, {{rws|Melton Mowbray}}[3] and {{rws|East Midlands Parkway}}. HistoryThe line was built in the 19th century as part of the Midland Railway. Its most notable engineering features are the Welland Viaduct (also called Harringworth Viaduct) and Corby Tunnel. The line was a major part of the Midland Main Line between London St Pancras, {{rws|Nottingham}}, {{rws|Leeds}} and {{rws|Carlisle}} carrying named expresses such as The Waverley. The line was opened for goods traffic on 1 December 1879[4] and for passenger traffic on 1 March 1880.[5] British Railways withdrew passenger services in 1967.[6] Thereafter BR used the line mainly for freight traffic, and as an important diversionary route for Midland Main Line passenger trains during disruption or engineering work. In 1977 the Parliamentary Select Committee on Nationalised Industries recommended considering electrification of more of Britain's rail network.{{sfn|Anonymous,|1979|p=0}} By 1979 BR presented a range of options to do so by 2000,{{sfn|Anonymous,|1979|p=2}} some of which included the Oakham to Kettering and Birmingham–Peterborough lines.{{sfn|Anonymous,|1979|p=8}} Under the 1979–90 Conservative governments that succeeded the 1976–79 Labour government, the proposal was not implemented. Corby railway station was reopened in 1987 with a shuttle service between there and Kettering, but the service had a poor timetable and unreliable trains which led to the service being withdrawn in 1990. A new Corby station opened on 23 February 2009, initially served by one return train per day to London St Pancras, operated by East Midlands Trains.[7] A fuller service, with 13 daily return trains to London, started on 27 April 2009.[2] Two trains per day in each direction extend north of Corby to {{rws|Oakham}} and {{rws|Melton Mowbray}},[3] one of which continues to {{rws|East Midlands Parkway}} and {{rws|Derby}}.
