Ramsey North railway station was a railway station in Ramsey, Cambridgeshire which is now closed. It was the terminus of a branch line from Holme on the East Coast main line run by the Great Northern Railway. ==History== The station opened on 22 July 1863, as the terminus of the Ramsey Railway, a branch line from Holme on the Great Northern Railway (GNR). The trains were worked by the GNR. The Ramsey Railway was acquired by the Great Eastern Railway (GER) in 1875, who planned to link it to another line that had been authorised in 1865 to run from to Ramsey. Although the latter was eventually built, opening in 1889, the two lines were never connected, and the Somersham line terminated at a different station, latterly known as . The branch from Holme remained physically isolated from the rest of the GER system, and so the GER leased it to the GNR which continued to work it. On 1 January 1923 the GNR and the GER became constituents of the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER), which found itself with two stations in Ramsey; they were given new names on 1 July 1923, the ex-Ramsey Railway station becoming ''Ramsey North''.〔 The station closed to passengers on 6 October 1947〔 and to freight in December 1973.〔 Ramsey Auction Rooms now occupy the former site. 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「Ramsey North railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
