Ely and St Ives Railway
The Ely and St Ives Railway (formerly the Ely, Haddenham & Sutton Railway) is a closed railway that ran between Ely, Cambridgeshire, and St Ives. The route was long single track, built to standard gauge and was completely closed on 5 October 1964. It has been completely dismantled.
==History==
The line was first authorised from Ely to Sutton through Haddenham as an independent line of which the Great Eastern Railway had a third share of the capital. The GER would also provide staff, locomotives and rolling stock in return for 50% of the gross takings. The line opened on 16 April 1865.
An extension to St Ives was opened on 11 May 1878 when the official title of the company changed to the Ely & St Ives Railway. In 1898 the Great Eastern finally bought out the company.
Passenger traffic had never been very high, due to the distance of the stations from the villages and on 2 February 1931 ordinary passenger services were withdrawn. The section of the line between Bluntisham and Sutton was the first to close on 6 October 1958, followed by the Ely to Sutton section on 13 July 1964, leaving the Needingworth Junction to Bluntisham section, which closed on 5 October 1964.
