Just noticed EMT's timetable for the London services today.

Understand there's engineering work - but it does seem strange to run to Kettering then to Corby and run the rail replacement buses from Corby to Wellingborough and Bedford given Corby's about 8 miles further up the road than Kettering is.

Id' have thought Kettering's big enough to handle the terminators and return them north - it's got 4 full length platforms and it's only a half hourly service in any case.
