Track stars: a celebration of Britain_s most spectacular railway stations

Our long-neglected stations are finally getting the attention they
deserve, says Simon Jenkins. Here are some of his favourites:

Clicking their quiz...

"Also known as Cambridge Science Park". No, it isn't. Network Rail
and the Science Park fell out at some point (I'm guessing the former
wanted bung from the latter, who realised it was too far away to be
of any practical use - too far to walk, too close to get a bus or
taxi) and the park isn't even mentioned in any of NR's blurb.


The name "Cambridge Science Park" was agreed at one point but then Network
Rail changed their mind and, ignoring the stakeholders who had agreed
before, changed it to "Cambridge North"
