The nature trail isn't a part of the Cambridge-St Ives scheme.

Do you mean that the trackbed had never acquired the status of a
nature trail, so apart from cyclists there's no-one that worried
about it potentially disappearing?

It was still technically an operating railway until 2 August 2003, so
it wasn't officially available for walkers or cyclists.

Where was the official end of the line in 2003? The rails were
lifted beyond Fen Drayton, and the St Ives bypass was built on top
of the St Ives station site (apparently in 1980), the bypass uses
the old trackbed towards March.

The sand trains ran to Fen Drayton until the extraction company was
allowed to build a road across the fields to the A14.
