About your departure station
Dating from 1850 as part of the Great Northern Railways London York main line, Sandy became an important junction for the Cambridge branch line.
Its impressive 1893 signal box, now Grade II listed, reflects this historical significance.
Though reduced in importance post Beeching, it remained open due to commuter demand.
The station retains original architectural features including a distinctive footbridge.
Current plans for East West Rail may restore its junction status by reconnecting the Oxford Cambridge route, potentially bringing new life to this historic station that has witnessed nearly two centuries of railway evolution.
