Cambridge

Cambridge is a station at the end of the West Anglia Main Line, and one of the major destinations for First Capital Connect services from King's Cross. I visited it once on my way to a job interview with Autonomy at the Cambridge Business Park, and the thing I most remember is how the station was boring and there were a lot of bikes out front. And I do mean lots. Services are provided mostly by National Express East Anglia, with additional services to Kings Cross by First Capital Connect and between Birmingham and Stansted Airport by CrossCountry. There are plans to build a new island platform, which might make the station marginally more interesting. On the upside, they do a decent pepperoni pizza panini.
