Road directions
The A14 passes over the station on a road bridge. Heading North on the A14, turn left onto the B1514. After around 1/4 mile, turn left onto Thrapston Road. After half a mile, continue on Huntingdon Road, then continue onto Brampton road. Turn right after half a mile, which should be signposted for the station.
Parking
There is a small car park at the station, and on-the-road parking should not be a problem nearby.

Amenities
The station has toilets and a waiting area on Platform 1 (London-Bound) as well as the small newsagent / cafe, also on Platform 1. There is a small waiting shelter on Platform 2.
This is an excellent photographic, and video location. To the south, the 4-track mainline is on a very gentle curve, with only the OLE to obscure the view. To the north, the line curves west as it heads towards Peterborough, although the A14 road bridge can affect your choice of angle. As the station is on a north-south section of track, photography is possible throughout the day, with sunlight causing little difficulty. The footbridge also offers an excellent vantage point. For the videographer, trains heading north should make for a great shot as the trains approach from the south, then curve away to the north / west on the exit.
