Cambridge South Station – 29th June 2026

Today, I went to the new Cambridge South Station and took these pictures.

Note.

1. Addenbrooke’s Hospital with the chimneys on the roof, is visible in the first few images as you approach the station.
2. There are four through platforms, which as they can accommodate 12-car trains are between 240-260 metres long.
3. The station has a solar roof.
4. The station has a high degree of finish everywhere.
5. The station has a thousand parking spaces for bicycles, but onlt five car parking spaces for blue-badge holders.
6. Destinations in a typical day include Birmingham New Street, Brighton, Kings Lynn, London King’s Cross, London Liverpool Street, Norwich, Stansted Airport, Stratford

I suspect, this station, will at least be nominated for the Stirling prize.
