Chesterton Juncton was the junction for the now closed St Ives to Cambridge railway Line. This railway line was closed when I took this photo but the track was still in place. The signal box was still in use on the main Cambridge to Ely line. The fate of the St Ives to Cambridge railway line was to take a long time. It is now a guided bus way. The signal box was closed in the 1980s. The guided bus way was not opened till 2011 which stops short of the main line railway.

A New brand new railway station opened on the 21st May 2017  called 'Cambridge North' and has been built on what was the now closed large permanent way site that was just to the north of here on the line to Ely.

 This new railway station called 'Cambridge North'  is the 2nd station at Chesterton, the last one having been closed in 1850, a mere 167 years ago. This station may have been a lttle bit early for the Cambridge Sceince Park! near by which it is hoped will bring lots of passengers.

Shepreth Branch Junc signal box was to the south of Cambridge were the line to Hitchin and Kings Cross leaves the line to Liverpool Street. The box opened in 1893 and closed in 1983
