Faced with huge increases in the number of houses, and population growth, in the county, Cambridgeshire County Council has warned that journeys could take up to 75% longer by 2031 if nothing is done about the transport infrastructure. Among proposals are new railway stations at Addenbrooke's (why has it taken them so long?) Fulbourn and Cherry Hinton. Reopening the railways to Haverhill and Bedford are suggested. An alternative idea for Haverhill is a guided busway alongside the A1307.
All this and more is included in an article in the Cambridge News here.

New railway station for Cambridge
Approval has been given to build a new railway station in north Cambridge near the Science Park at a cost of £26 million. See http://www.cambstimes.co.uk/news/mp_welcomes_26_million_rail_station_that_he_says_will_boost_east_cambs_and_fenland_1_1215678
The site is just north of where the St Ives railway joined the main line and will presumably be connected to the guided busway. It is expected that over 3000 passengers a day will use the station.
