Cambridge South station site selected

Network Rail has identified a preferred location for the proposed Cambridge South rail station following a public consultation and engineering review. The station would be located adjacent to the Cambridgeshire guided busway and the Cambridge Biomedical Campus. Network Rail will now proceed with further design work, working with stakeholders and funders including the DfT, Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority, the Greater Cambridge Partnership and AstraZeneca. A Transport and Works Act Order application is anticipated to be submitted to the DfT in 2021. Subject to gaining consent, work could start on the station in 2023. The target opening date is 2025.
