The Cambridge Line〔Quail Map 2 - England East (24 ) February 1998 (Retrieved 2011-11-09)〕 runs from Cambridge junction〔 on the East Coast Main Line to Shepreth Branch junction〔 on the West Anglia Main Line and forms part of the route between London King's Cross and East Anglia. The line is part of the Network Rail Strategic Route 5, SRS 05.05 and is classified as a London and South East Commuter line.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=Route 5 - West Anglia )〕 ==History== (詳細はVarsity Line via . 〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~engcam/Transport/TheCambridgeRegion.htm ) 〕 The line was opened in 1851 then extended to Cambridge although this was resisted by the company already operating a service from via the West Anglia Main Line. 〔 The line was then leased by the Great Northern 〔 〕 in 1850 and subsequently purchased in 1898 〔 〕 and through services run from to .

The extension of electrification through to Cambridge was completed in 1988〔 〕 under Network SouthEast and the track improved to increase speed. Occasional services are run by 12 car trains 〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 author = First Capital Connect ) 〕 allowing them to stop only at Royston & Letchworth Garden City where the platform is long enough to accommodate them. The platform extension at Letchworth Garden City was completed in December 2011. The flat junction at has always been an issue with conflicting train movements, but the Hitchin flyover to the north of the existing junction was opened in 2013 to carry north-bound services up and over the East Coast Main Line.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Hitchin flyover )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cambridge Line」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
