RMweb Premium blackpete Posted August 4, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 4, 2016 I have recently come into possession of one of the signs from this station but am struggling to find much information and photos of the station, particularly clear shots of the platform and how many signs there were. Hope someone on this forum can assist. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim15B Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Just come across this post. I think I took a couple of pictures in the late '80s/early '90s and if I can find them (and if they are any good) I'll post them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium blackpete Posted January 27, 2019 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted January 27, 2019 Thanks for that. Most photos I found online are of either the first of the third (current) station Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Joseph_Pestell Posted January 27, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 27, 2019 I found a few photos from that era via Google. But no signs showing at all on the platform. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ess1uk Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Was Corby NSE? thought it only got as far as Bedford, Northampton and Huntingdon? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted April 29, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 29, 2019 No, it was NSE, all though I have no idea why, either. ISTR going on a jolly to the place with other NSE people. About 1988/9, soon after opening. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ess1uk Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Only went once (on the first reopening) and didn’t get off so can’t say I noticed. does seem strange since Kettering wasn’t NSE. was it because the units came from NSE? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim15B Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Found one, only two years late! June 1990, I hope it helps. Apologies for the quality. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium blackpete Posted March 28, 2021 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted March 28, 2021 Thanks for this. Any photo is a bonus. From checking other photos, I think I 'might' have the only sign made for the NSE station. I'm now looking for track plans as I'm thinking of modelling the station 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERS Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 From memory there were four signs on lamposts, a timetable board on the platform, another on the carpark side at the top of the steps and the main station sign on Cottingham Rd. The latter was intact until the site was developed nearly 20 years after services had ceased. The platform is still intact opposite the new platform on the up side. The NSE designation came from the fact that the service was operated by NSE from Bletchley though it was rare to see an NSE liveried unit on the service, the usual was a 121 or a 108 in blue and grey. One of the bubble cars had a Corby Borough coat of arms on the bodyside. Someone with a timetable might be able to confirm but I seem to remember that there was a through service from either Bletchley or Bedford which brought the unit North early in the morning but I don't think there was a corresponding southbound service at night, that was ECS. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
