This third talk in David’s popular series on railways around Cambridge, from their opening to today, begins with the line from Cambridge to Audley End and then eastwards via Saffron Walden to Bartlow Junction. The route back towards Cambridge is followed as far as Shepreth Branch Junction where we take the Kings Cross line to Hitchin, calling in on the Barrington Light Railway. The presentation concludes with an examination of the former LNWR line from Cambridge to Oxford as far as Sandy on the GNR mainline.
