Station will be first to be given full GBR branding and will directly link city’s Biomedical Campus to London, Brighton and Stansted airport
The delayed Cambridge South station will finally open in late June – and become the first station to be given full Great British Railways branding, the government has announced.
The station sits beside the city’s Biomedical Campus, Europe’s largest medical research centre, and will connect it with direct trains to London, Brighton and Stansted airport, as well as up to nine trains an hour to the centre of Cambridge itself.
Finally! Cambridge South is opening after all that delay. Hopefully the direct link to the Biomedical Campus will make commuting easier for researchers at Europe’s largest medical centre.
Nine trains an hour to central Cambridge sounds great, but given the delays, I’m skeptical about the June timeline. Let’s see if Great British Railways can actually deliver on time.
It’s interesting that this is the first station with full GBR branding, but how does that change anything for passengers? We just want reliable service to London and Stansted.
The link to Brighton and Stansted airport is a game-changer for the Biomedical Campus staff. But with only hourly direct trains, I hope they increase frequency soon.
