Shelford railway station serves the villages of Great Shelford, Little Shelford and Stapleford in Cambridgeshire, England.
History
The station was opened by the Eastern Counties Railway in 1845[1] and later became a junction with the opening of the Stour Valley Railway from Haverhill on 1 June 1865.[2] The subsequent completion of the line onwards to Sudbury a few months later created a through link with Colchester on the Great Eastern main line. This was used by through holiday trains between Clacton-on-Sea and the East/West Midlands in LNER and British Rail days but then fell victim to the Beeching Axe, closing to all traffic on 6 March 1967.[3]
Service Patterns
A train leaves hourly in each direction off peak and half-hourly peak. The 'Up' (London) train calls at Whittlesford, Great Chesterford, Audley End, Newport (Essex), Elsenham, Stansted Mountfitchet, Bishops Stortford, Sawbridgeworth, Harlow Mill, Harlow Town, Roydon, Broxbourne, Cheshunt and Tottenham Hale before terminating at Liverpool Street.[4]
The 'Down' train (away from London) goes to Cambridge.
