Great Northern route stations

TheGreat Northern route[3][4] is a suburban rail route inLondon and theEast of England. The route consists of services on the southern end of theEast Coast Main Line, which is the main railway link between the cities ofLondon andEdinburgh,[5] as well as its associated branches, including theCambridge line,Fen line,Hertford Loop line, andNorthern City Line.[6]

The route is currently operated by Great Northern, which is one brand under the umbrella ofGovia Thameslink Railway.[7] Services originating atLondon King's Cross operate toPeterborough,Letchworth Garden City,Cambridge,Ely, andKing's Lynn, whereas services originating atMoorgate operate toWelwyn Garden City,Hertford North,Gordon Hill, andStevenage.[8]

Statistics

[edit]
Route map

In all, there are 56 stations on the route,[6] of which London King's Cross isGrade I listed and various parts of eight stations (Biggleswade, Cambridge,Downham Market,Huntingdon, King's Lynn, Letchworth Garden City, Moorgate, andWelwyn North) areGrade II listed.Historic England define Grades I and II as buildings of "exceptional interest" and of "special interest" respectively.[9] The total number of stations will grow to 57 when the two new stations with allocated funding, atCambridge South andTempsford, open to passengers.

Of the stations on the route, Govia Thameslink Railway only share seven stations (King's Cross, Stevenage, Peterborough, Cambridge,Cambridge North,Waterbeach and Ely) with otherNational Rail operators;[10] this will rise to nine once Cambridge South and Tempsford open.[11] Five stations are served by theLondon Underground (Moorgate,Old Street,Highbury & Islington, London King's Cross, andFinsbury Park), and four stations haveout of station interchange capability (London King's Cross, Moorgate,Harringay, andBowes Park).[12] UntilGreater Anglia withdrew their services to King's Lynn in May 2023, all the Fen line stations were shared between the two operators, but this is no longer the case.[13]

Great Northern manages all except eight of their stations; one is managed byNetwork Rail (London King's Cross), one is managed byLNER (Peterborough), three are managed byGreater Anglia (Cambridge, Cambridge North, and Ely), and three are managed byLondon Underground (Moorgate, Old Street, and Highbury & Islington).[14] OnceEast West Rail opens, it will provide interchange with three stations on the route at Tempsford (construction approved[15]),Cambridge South (under construction[16]), and Cambridge.[17]

There are also nineteen former stations on lines that remain open as part of the route, of which four were replaced by now-open stations (Chesterton, Enfield, Maiden Lane, and Stevenage). Almost half of these closures came during the 1950s and 1960s, a period which included theBeeching cuts. The length of time these stations remained open varies greatly, from four days (Trumpington)[18] to 122 years (Stevenage).[19]: 220  Various proposals for the reopening of other closed stations exist,[20][21] but none are promoted by theCampaign for Better Transport.[22]

Future stations

[edit]

There are two stations that have been confirmed to have funding allocated to them: Cambridge South is under construction with an expected opening date in early 2026;[16] Tempsford was guaranteed in January 2025 to serve both theEast Coast Main Line andEast West Rail byRachel Reeves, theChancellor of the Exchequer.[47] Interest by local and campaign groups in opening new stations and reopening old stations is common; examples include in Harston and Offord.[20][21] However, theCampaign for Better Transport does not include any projects related to the Great Northern route in its suggestions.[22]

Former stations

[edit]

There are nineteen stations on the route which have been closed to passengers, even though the line that they were once on remains open today. Of these, three were closed at the same time a replacement opened (Enfield, Maiden Lane, Steven age) and one was replaced at a later date (Chesterton). Two stations have funding to be replaced in the future (Elmsford and Trumpington).

Trumpington station was the shortest-lived station on the route, closing permanently on 8 July 1922 only four days after it originally opened.[18] Stevenage was the longest-lasting at 122 years and 11 months,[19]: 220 [k] but if excluding stations that have since been replaced, the longest-lasting is Harston at 111 years and 2 months.[19]: 114  Eight of the former stations were closed during the 1950s and 1960s (at the height of theBritish Rail Modernisation Plan[48] andBeeching cuts[49]).

  2. ^Only the platform building is listed.[25]
  3. ^Out of station interchange (OSI) withBounds Green tube station[12]

  11. ^abcThe first railway station named Stevenage opened on 7 August 1850 on the original stretch of the Great Northern Railway between London and Peterborough.[19]: 220  In 1973, it was replaced with another station of the same name 1 mi (1.6 km) south on the line.
    [19]: 220–221 
  12. ^A temporary halt had operated since 1 September 1920.[19]: 244
