New Platforms at Cambridge
I said in an earlier post, that I will use the Tottenham Hale route more to get to Cambridge, as it is only slightly slower and the trains are better and have wi-fi.
I think though I’ll give myself a bit of time for journeys, as new platforms are under construction at Cambridge and I was delayed slightly getting into the station.
New Platforms at Cambridge
Hopefiully, when the platforms are completed before the end of the year, it will make things a lot easier. Although, there are rumours that the lifts to get to the two new platforms won’t take bikes, so getting across might not be the smooth up and down it should be.

I think it should be, although I’m having an argument with NXEA about my ticket to Bury yesterday. The words twisted and knickers come to mind.

There are supposed to be grooves up the sides of the steps to wheel bicycles up, otherwise it will be a disaster. See http://www.rtaylor.co.uk/island-platform-cambridge-station.html for details

Bicycles on trains create lots of problems when the trains are busy. I live close to the North/East London lines and at times there are quite a few bicycles. it’s not too much of a problem for me now, as my eyesight is getting better after the stroke, but ask most people with a slight eyesight problem or a disability and they don’t like bicycles on trains.
At Cambridge I would have thought that as there are two bridges over the line already, that a better cycle route could have been designed, rather than expect them to share the new one with pedestrians. Especially, those who seem to take their whole kitchen with them in enormous wheeled suitcases.

[…] think that some of the new trains are even prepared for the revolution. The new trains, I used to get to Cambridge a couple of weeks ago, are built with trays for laptops and/or snacks. […]
