Northampton Training Day help, please...

[Tinka]

Hi. Can anyone please tell me if there is a bus that runs from Northampton train station to The Marriott Hotel?
I have a CDC training day at the Marriott and after really not enjoying the drive last time I fancied taking the train. Looked into it and it is definately do-able, but it is getting from the staion to the hotel that looks difficult.
Anyone know if there is a bus that goes there or near enough to it for me to walk?
Thanks

Looks like you could get a bus into town to Greyfriars Bus Station (centre of N'ton) and out again to the Marriott but I'm not sure what time you need to get there?

It seems pretty good!

Thank you for these replies, I will definately be going on the train as I hate driving in the snow, and it looks like it is returning!

Are you going on the 3rd Feb Tinka?

No sorry, but I can now report that a taxi from the train station to the hotel costs an average of £7

How did you get on, if you dont mind me asking?

Great.
Train station is about 4km from the hotel, so the taxi is cheap enough.
Driving, and in the dark winter months when you have been at a course all day, is so tiring. I was really shattered by the end of the day - I had been up since 5am, so I was so glad I didn't have to get back in the car and drive home.
I prefer the the Northampton location to the Kettering one for this reason now.
