From Saturday 17 October to Sunday 25 October, railway engineers will be replacing 1km of track that was severely flooded last year, helping to keep trains running safely and reliably for years to come.

Over 400,000 journeys have been made to and from Cambridge South station since it opened its gates 100 days ago, transforming the way people travel to and from Europe’s largest biomedical campus – home to world-class science, NHS hospitals and business facilities.
