"Also known as Cambridge Science Park". No, it isn't. Network Rail and the Science Park fell out at some point (I'm guessing the former wanted bung from the latter, who realised it was too far away to be of any practical use - too far to walk, too close to get a bus or taxi) and the park isn't even mentioned in any of NR's blurb. -- Roland Perry |

Battersea Park looks surprisingly good; but I was at Crystal Palace for the first time in tears recently and that looked very good as well. Of course CP is quite a posh area, for south London.
Railway stations anywhere are a bit like churches: there's normally something of interest at every one. |

The name "Cambridge Science Park" was agreed at one point But was it contingent on a bung? No. Roland. However bad things are, we are not yet a banana republic. but then Network Rail changed their mind Because the bung was shown the door? We have not been told. -- Colin Rosenstiel |

Have you missed the recent announcements form Network rail that no future new infrastructure will be built other than mainly at the expense of third parties? (I hope the NHS has a budget for Addenbrookes Station). but then Network Rail changed their mind Because the bung was shown the door? We have not been told. I'm pretty sure we have been told that the Science Park refused to contribute to the cost of the station. -- Roland Perry |
