The Cambridge & St. Ives Branch (as it is named on New Popular Editions Ordnance Survey maps) was a railway built by the ''Wisbech, St Ives & Cambridge Junction Railway'' in the late 1840s. The railway ran from Cambridge in the south, through Fenland countryside to the market town of St. Ives; more specifically, the line ran from ''Chesterton Junction'', where it met the present-day Fen Line north of the River Cam. Passenger services along the line managed to survive the Beeching Axe, but with British Rail citing heavy losses the final passenger service ran between St Ives and Cambridge on 5 October 1970. Despite campaigns to reopen the service during the 1970s, the only subsequent rail traffic on the line was a freight service to Chivers in Histon which ran until 1983 and a contract to ferry sand from ARC at Fen Drayton which continued until May 1992.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Cambridge-St Ives-March )〕 The railway now forms the alignment of the northern section of the Cambridgeshire Guided Busway: a bus rapid transit scheme. ==Stations== ''Stations listed northwest to south, in the 'up' direction'' * St. Ivesopened 17 August 1847, closed 5 October 1970. * opened 17 August 1847, closed 5 October 1970. * (or Longstanton)opened 17 August 1847, closed 5 October 1970. * opened 17 August 1847, closed 5 October 1970. * opened 17 August 1847, closed 5 October 1970. * opened 17 August 1847, closed October 1850. * opened 30 July 1845. 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 & St. Ives Branch Line」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
