The caramel latte from pumpkin cafe is decent enough as are the ham and cheese and cheese and tomato toasties !
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
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.
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
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.
The new station is really nice, so much daylight, clean and a nice Starbucks.
Building work pretty much done and dusted now: all vehicular access from the rear of the building.
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.
Enjoy mountaineering ? You'll love the new temporary stairs to get to platforms 3 & 4!
Book your tickets on line in advance and they will arrive the next day by mail at no extra cost
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 .
They are investigating where the Northampton castle use to be many years ago, before they will be a new train station
LM staff love leaving passengers in the rain as it takes forever for the guard to open the doors.
Pay attention when on a train that splits here to make sure you are in the right half for where you want to go.
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.
The new station looks like it's going to be such an improvement to its current state http://www.northamptonstation.co.uk
Lots of building going on and drop-off parking is to the rear.
A very friendly place to come. Someone is always around to help if needed :)
Make sure you have a drink before you get here as everything is shut!
Good train station .
Don't get a London midland train if it's raining as they leave you standing in the rain with the doors locked.
Roll on the 20 million pound investment for the station upgrade. It's so 1984 here.
Buy a great escape when the offer is on, unlimited travel from just £5!
Grab something here for your journey , rather than on the train
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.
Get a car. You'll not regret it.
Can't wait for the new station to open.
The trains on the Euston line stop here for ages, it's incredibly irritating.
As normal it's raining and they can't be bothered to open the doors. Let everybody get wet waiting.
Beware of incompetent ticket guards . Make sure you have proof of your route or time to confirm with ticket office .
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.
BGJ lives here :) this is a good thing :))
Do London Midland really need to stop here and connect with other train carriages!? You just delay peoples journeys >_<
Glad to be almost home
From tamworth to euston the train sits at northampton for hours, get a move on
Would it really hurt London Midland to let passengers use the plug sockets in the Waiting Room?
Travelling with London Midland is slow and uncomfortable; if possible use another company.
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!
Get off for a cigarette!
Dev's Mrs off coronation st just got a train at northampton.
Everyone queues for tickets when the machines are empty, why is this?
Travelling as a group again saves beer tickets
Front 4 coaches going to Birmingham
Choo chooo trains !!! :-D
Don't expect thing to run smoothly here
good for trains lol
Needs a direct train from here to London please?! Spend my life on this journey
Why have they got rid of the tables on the trains ? Crazy.
I AIN'T GETTING ON NO TRAIN
Not as good as platform 1 - owen reed
Blue seats are far superior to green seats - Michelle Griffiths
