St Ives to Cambridge Railway (fast version)
A high speed walk along the St Ives railway between Fen Drayton and Cambridge. See the rails for the last time, before the dreaded guided busway takes them away for ever.
The journey passes through Long Stanton, Swavesey, Oakington, Histon and outer Cambridge. See what remains of the stations.
The railway hasn't been used since the 1970s (passengers) 1980s (goods)
To use this valuable asset again after more than 25 years of neglect: is good!
What isn't good is the poor choice the local government has made, by choosing buses over trains and trams.
Trams are tops can't understand why a busway is needed. All the places it'll serve have buses already.
Trains could go much further distances, faster for longer, trams could share the track, to serve Cambridge city centre, as-well as local town centres. They are cleaner too!
I hope you enjoy this piece of history.
Be sure to see my second film, about the remains of the other old railway that will be used by the Guided Busway, being between Cambridge Railway Station , Trumpington and Addenbrooks.
Better version on Mpeg2 Quality (1Hr 10Mins) available on DVD!
