Perhaps a "2 platforms with bus shelters and a footbridge halt"
might need a new lineside cabinet style "equipment room" installed,
but that's probably about the limit of exceptional circumstances
in such installations.

Here's a typical such station, and they manage to have an online TVM
(but it's not suitable for barriers at all).

2 TVMs by the look of it. I'm sure barriers could be installed if
sufficiently desired, given the layout.

They'd be "outdoors" which is unusual, and with only 1tph most of the
day I doubt it's worth manning the station, which you'd have to do
with barriers.


2 trains an hour soon, surely?


Yes, I suppose so. If both of them stop there of course. But the
current pattern is that north-of-Cambridge electrics are all-shacks,
so perhaps that'll continue. With presumably yet another stop at
Northstowe Parkway. (Another option would be to alternate between
the two during the day).


I'm sure all passing trains will stop at Cambridge Science Park station, to
give it the correct name) when it opens. There's a clue in the name.
