THE NEW NORTHGATE BUS STATION at the top of the Drapery will be officially opened on Saturday, 1st March at 11am. It will come into service on Sunday 2nd March. Buses to Daventry, Rugby, Duston, Swan Valley and Upton will depart from the Drapery.

Coaches will arrive and depart from Victoria Street alongside the Upper Mounts car park next to the Crown Court. This is not ideal if you have heavy suitcases to carry between the bus and coach locations. I’d be interested to learn of users experiences of using the new arrangement.
