Rail Hubs
Northamptonshire's two major rail hubs provide invaluable industrial links across the UK and mainland Europe. Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal (DIRFT) was opened in 1997 and remains a state-of-the-art facility serving destinations throughout the UK and mainland Europe. Corby, in the north of the county, is home to a modern, award-winning rail hub. This major rail freight terminal is the destination for mile-long trains traveling directly from Paris twice daily.
