GTR have notified us of changes to our rail services from 6th September. They are continuing to recover from the disruption of the last 18 months, but staff levels are being affected by the pandemic.
In order to prioritise rush hour and school trains, our train service will go down to one train an hour in the middle of the day for the time being.
Customers are asked to plan their journeys at www.nationalrail.co.uk, where the changes will be shown from 28th August. The timetable will be reviewed in December 2021.
Cambridge to King’s Cross
Two stopping trains per hour will run between Cambridge and King’s Cross during school and busy times. During the middle of the day, one of these trains per hour will not run between Cambridge and Royston, meaning an hourly service at Foxton, Shepreth and Meldreth outside of busy times.

A scheme to provide holiday childcare, activities and food for children in Cambridgeshire is now taking bookings for the summer holidays.
Any child receiving benefits related free school meals is eligible to access free holiday provision under the Holiday Activity and Food (HAF) programme.
Funded by the Department for Education (DfE), it enables local authorities to coordinate free holiday childcare, including healthy food and enriching activities.
The programme will be delivered by approved holiday scheme providers and childminders, and co-ordinated by Cambridgeshire County Council.
Up to four weeks of activities will be offered during the school summer holidays. Each eligible child will be entitled to up to 64 hours of free holiday childcare throughout the school summer holiday period. Parents can book places directly with participating holiday schemes from Monday 7th June. More information can be found at www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/haf
