Hi everyone.
Sorry for radio silence for a while. Life was crazy (fuller apology on the construction progress thread soon).
As most of you know, this is my project. I'm involved in many discussions re timetabling and services.
The official line: It will be well served but no official decision has yet been made, and we cannot share any final patterns.
The info that's not really any secret:
All Greater Anglia Services will stop. Indeed, the station will be operated by Greater Anglia too.
Some Thameslink will stop. Probably a very high percentage. Possibly all.
Great Northern - As Thameslink.
Cross-country - I have to remain fairly tight lipped about this one. That's firmly in the 'final decision not yet made' category and discussions are ongoing. But suffice to say it's not a definate no.
That's pretty much all I can say at present. Official announcements are still probably a few months away yet at least.
The hospital will clearly generate a lot of traffic, I don’t know the area that well, but it has reasonable access from the M11 (not sure if it is better or worse then Cambridge North). Also not paid enough attention as I have gone by a the car-Parking situation.
I'd say it has great access from the M11, but there's one key issue - that access is to the Trumpington park and ride. The station itself has no public car park. It has 1000 bike parking spaces, and has bus stops not far away, with connections from the P&R, but you wont be able to park at the station itself. There is a drop-off/pick-up area though.
