Newmarket new station

Hits: 171

Newmarket New Station again, after the "rationalisation" so probably late 1970s. The station was still in use but only as a passenger stop. The platform canopy on both sides has been radically cut back. The bay platform roads on the right (originally used to terminate trains travelling from Ely via Soham and Fordham) have been lifted as have all the goods sidings. Out of sight, further up the line, there were still a couple of sidings in use until the time the whole formation here was singled.
