![Cambridge South Station Is Under Construction
Theres another new station being built right now that I went to go and see ... this time in Cambridge, where the new Cambridge Station is being constructed. I went along to have a look at the construction which is well under way.
[ I suspect this will be station number 2,590 on the network when it opens in early 2026 ]
