The caramel latte from pumpkin cafe is decent enough as are the ham and cheese and cheese and tomato toasties !

Bernard O'Sullivan

If you have a London Midland Train with Blue Seats these are by far the most comfortable . Individual tables and a number of seats with Extra leg room. In addition they have seats with communal tables

Caterina

Check how long your train will be stopping here for. You're be able to get off and buy some goodies before it takes off again, as it can be up to 15 minutes.

Sean Murphy

Quickest and most comfortable to get here from London Euston is with Virgin Trains to Milton Keynes and then step over for London Midland on platform 3 for a much shorter trip to Northampton Station

David Robinson

Check the All Aboard to Northampton displays adjacent to the ticket barriers - maybe you’ve got a missing ticket in your hand!

Enjoy the changing of the guards ...as in train guards because you'll be stuck on a London Midland train here for up to 20 minutes with nothing else to do. Makes Guantanamo seem like Butlins.

Luke Foster

The new station is really nice, so much daylight, clean and a nice Starbucks.

Colin McDermott

Building work pretty much done and dusted now: all vehicular access from the rear of the building.

Steven Smith

It's taken over 6 months to get the potholes filled in the car Park and one set of the entrance doors to the building broke before Christmas and they are still not fixed mid February. Nobody cares.

Paul Gibson

Enjoy mountaineering ? You'll love the new temporary stairs to get to platforms 3 & 4!

Lynn Freeman

Book your tickets on line in advance and they will arrive the next day by mail at no extra cost

Tim Evans

Despite this being a brand new station , there's nowhere to buy a beer or a wine . Pretty poor planning considering the amount of time London Midland strand passengers here, due to terminated trains .

Emma Somerset

They are investigating where the Northampton castle use to be many years ago, before they will be a new train station

Mark H

LM staff love leaving passengers in the rain as it takes forever for the guard to open the doors.

Hazel Nicholson

Pay attention when on a train that splits here to make sure you are in the right half for where you want to go.

Jonathan T

It's faster to book your tickets in advance online and collect from the ticket machines. Especially during school holidays when the queues can often overflow out of the station.

George Everett

The new station looks like it's going to be such an improvement to its current state http://www.northamptonstation.co.uk

Colin McDermott

Lots of building going on and drop-off parking is to the rear.

Kat Roberts

A very friendly place to come. Someone is always around to help if needed :)

Mark Walton

Make sure you have a drink before you get here as everything is shut!

Xander Galloway

Good train station .

Mark H

Don't get a London midland train if it's raining as they leave you standing in the rain with the doors locked.

Amadeus Mozart

Roll on the 20 million pound investment for the station upgrade. It's so 1984 here.

Ashley Williams

Buy a great escape when the offer is on, unlimited travel from just £5!

Oliver Shreeve

Grab something here for your journey , rather than on the train

Amadeus Mozart

As a Northampton resident even admit this station needs a total revamp. It's a busy line an a Hub to London, so more investment needed.

Stephen Jackson

Get a car. You'll not regret it.

roy

Can't wait for the new station to open.

Philippa Connolly

The trains on the Euston line stop here for ages, it's incredibly irritating.

Mark H

As normal it's raining and they can't be bothered to open the doors. Let everybody get wet waiting.

Adam Millerchip

Beware of incompetent ticket guards . Make sure you have proof of your route or time to confirm with ticket office .

Zach Beauvais

If you find yourself stopping here, keep going. The rest if the world is only a stop away. There is nothing stopping you, stop stalling.

Drew of Drew

BGJ lives here :) this is a good thing :))

Scott G

Do London Midland really need to stop here and connect with other train carriages!? You just delay peoples journeys >_<

Wellington Harris

Glad to be almost home

From tamworth to euston the train sits at northampton for hours, get a move on

Tom Bisely

Would it really hurt London Midland to let passengers use the plug sockets in the Waiting Room?

Alexander Peacock

Travelling with London Midland is slow and uncomfortable; if possible use another company.

Lydia Marmot

Tried to stay on train but it got cancelled. No coffee / snacks after 8pm and no waiting room after 9pm. Don't get caught out like me!

Robert Smith

Get off for a cigarette!

Mark H

Dev's Mrs off coronation st just got a train at northampton.

Everyone queues for tickets when the machines are empty, why is this?

Darren Baldwin

Travelling as a group again saves beer tickets
