The winter timetables across the national rail network came into operation on Sunday 12th December 2021.  For Market Harborough, there is little change from the previous timetable, though there are some alterations to late night and very early morning trains because of engineering work.
The timetable for our line is attached below, and all timetables are available from the Network Rail website at https://www.networkrail.co.uk/running-the-railway/the-timetable/electronic-national-rail-timetable/.

Work on the long-awaited electrification of the main line from Kettering to Market Harborough officially started on Saturday 11th December.  Much preparatory work had already taken place, including cutting back of lineside vegetation that might interfere with the overhead lines, plus a start on the power supply substation at Braybrooke, just outside Market Harborough.  The first job for the electrification teams, who are operating out of site compounds at Rushton, Braybrooke and behind Platform 1 at Market Harborough, is to install the tubular steel piles in the ground to support the overhead line masts.  Several of these were already in place at Braybrooke on 11th December.  Work continues on this operation, mostly overnight plus some weekend working, until January.
Once complete, the electrification and power supply upgrade will enable the new Aurora trains to operate on electric power south from Market Harborough when they are introduced into service in 2023.  By then, we hope the decision to continue beyond Market Harborough will have been made, in accordance with the Government’s promise in its Integrated Rail Plan, published on 18th November 2021, to electrify the whole Midland Main Line.
