We are delighted to let you know that following the temporary closure of Melbourn Post Office we will be re-opening the branch on Wednesday 1 December 2021 at 13:00. This will be in a new location – Melbourn Stores, 49 High Street, Melbourn, Royston, SG8 6DZ.
Your new Post Office branch
Customers would access Post Office services at a low-screened, open-plan, modern serving point that’s part of the retail counter. Working with the postmaster, we’d adapt the current store layout, fixtures and fittings to accommodate the Post Office till if needed.
The branch will offer a wide range of Post Office products and services over longer opening hours, so customers can access their Post Office when it’s convenient. Customer satisfaction with local style branches is high, and many local branch customers visit outside traditional opening hours.
We have provided posters for display in the new premises to let customers know the good news.
We are keen to restore services to this community as soon as possible so we are now progressing with these plans. However, we would welcome suggestions about specific aspects of the change such as access arrangements and the internal layout.

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.
