“We have been working closely with the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined authority to develop proposals for a new station in Soham,” said a Network Rail spokesman. .
“The proposals, currently in development, include a new platform, footbridge and car park facilities on the site of the former Soham station, which closed in 1965.
“Building a new station would reconnect the town with the rail network and help to improve growth in the area, jobs and investment in the town.”
Network Rail will hold community drop-in events on Tuesday 26 and Wednesday 27 February where residents and businesses can come along to find out more about the current plans on the proposals for a new station and ask any questions direct to the project team.
The community drop-in events will be held in the Ross Peers sports centre at the following times:
Tuesday 26 February between 4pm and 8pm
