The opening date for Cambridge South has been confirmed, marking a milestone for Great British Railways as it becomes the first GBR-branded station in the country.
Cambridge South will open on Sunday, 28th June 2026.
Up to 9 trains per hour will call at the station, linking Cambridge, London, Birmingham and Stansted Airport.
Passengers will also be linked with international rail services via London St Pancras.
Up to 20 services will call at Cambridge South in peak hours.
Backed by £250 million government investment, Cambridge South will open up access to jobs, homes and world-class facilities for people across the region, boosting the growth of the Biomedical Campus as one of the most important engines of growth in the country.
As the first new Great British Railways branded station, the opening is an important milestone for our railways and a sign of the real change public ownership will deliver. Faster connections supporting economic growth, thousands more jobs and homes and a railway that works for the communities it serves.
Rail Minister, Lord Peter Hendy

It’s good to see the new Cambridge South railway station to open that will serve Addenbrookes Hospital, Papworth Trust Hospital and of course Cambridge Biomedical Campus.
