Cambridge railway station is the principal station serving the city of Cambridge, England. Situated at the end of Station Road, it is 1 mile (1.6 km) south-east of the city centre. With over 10 million passengers passing through the station (2023-2024), it is both the busiest station in the East of England region and the thirteenth busiest outside of London.
The station serves as the northern terminus for both the West Anglia Main Line from London Liverpool Street, and of the Cambridge line from London Kings Cross. The station is also the southern terminus of three secondary routes: the Fen line to King's Lynn, the Breckland line to Norwich and the Ipswich–Ely line to Ipswich.
The station is managed and served by Greater Anglia, with services also operated by Great Northern, Thameslink, and CrossCountry. It is one of three railway stations in Cambridge, the others being Cambridge North, approximately 2.5 miles (4 km) away, and the under-construction Cambridge South.
