    Bonus bank holiday update from Shepreth Junction, where there was some work in progress today. There is a new concrete pad just to the east and south of the junction. There is also an area of disturbed ballast just to the north of the junction - possibly a cable crossing? I have also included...

    Cambridge South new station opening

    Bonus Monday morning update as I happened to be walking over the busway bridge again. Not much change since Saturday, but the masts to the north have had their verticals erected and are presumably going to be brought into service very soon. To the south the flat area has been revealed as a...

    Cambridge South new station opening

    A few photos taken from the busway bridge from this morning. Looks like there is another possession this weekend. To the south of the bridge work is ongoing on the OHLE again. Since last week a couple of flat areas have been created to the west of the track, and the old masts have been removed...

    I noticed those as well. My assumption is that they are reflectors attached at a known point for measuring locations on site with a theodolite or similar. Or for checking that the bridge isn’t moving….

    Yes, that’s fair - it will depend on what is park vs allotments, recreation areas, etc but it is less than a third at the moment. 1679743934 Photos from today at the Busway bridge, looking south. Evidence of some work on the track/OHLE but I am not sure if that is associated with the station...

    Cambridge South new station opening

    Big expansion of the site this week. The fenced off area now covers about half of the country park. Looks like the earthworks are getting more extensive and quite a bit of soil has been relocated to level the ground.

    Here are a couple of photos from earlier today. The site has expanded over the last week and some of the vegetation has started to be cleared.

    Cambridge South new station opening

    The previous pictures don’t do a good job of showing how close the station will be to the hospitals and biomedical campus. Hopefully this one will clarify the situation. You can see the large Astra Zeneca office on far left (glass building) and Royal Papworth (blue building) are just across the...
