Histon railway station

Former railway station in Cambridgeshire, England

Histon railway station is a disused railway station in Impington, Cambridgeshire[1] on the Cambridge–St Ives branch of the Great Eastern Railway. The station was closed as part of the Beeching Axe in 1970;[2] but the line through the station remained open for freight trains until the early 1992.[2] The station site was partially demolished, with the platforms and a small building on the down side being removed and the canopy severely truncated during the construction of the Cambridgeshire Guided Busway but the station building was saved from being demolished; a car park was planned to be built on the site of the demolished station building.[3] The building has operated as a cafe since 2021.[4]
