Plaques unveiled after heritage restoration
COMMEMORATIVE plaques have been unveiled at both Kettering and Wellingborough stations after Network Rail completed work to modify the Grade II listed platform canopies.
The changes were needed due to the electrification of the Midland Main Line. Throughout the project, Network Rail and East Midlands Railway worked closely with the Railway Heritage Trust which contributed £2.5m to the scheme. Network Rail teams have carefully restored many of the canopies’ original features, including the finials, columns and roofs at both stations.
