Future
It is planned that all platforms will be extended by up to 50 metres by 2012 to allow longer trains to be accommodated.
The railway through Kettering is not electrified therefore all services are operated by diesel trains. This is set to change by 2019 when a scheme to electrify the remainder of the Midland Main Line is to be completed, this along with faster line speeds, means the town will be less than 60 minutes from the capital. Combined with improvements on the Marston Vale line, new direct services may be introduced.
