Getting Around Northampton
If you’re arriving in Northampton by train and looking to get straight to your accommodation, there is a taxi company based right outside the station, so you can get to where you need to be without waiting around. However, we recommend pre-booking your trips before you arrive to save you the headache when it comes to getting to-and-from your activities.
