The Varsity Line connected Oxford and Cambridge and train services ran on the section between Bedford and Cambridge until the end of 1967
Link. Plans are underway to reopen the line in stages between Oxford and Cambridge, and the route is now known as East West Rail.
Some local authorities have taken steps to protect disused rail routes. Hence much of the original alignment between Oxford and Bedford will be/is being reused as it was because it was not built over in the meantime. However, there are several places between Bedford and Cambridge where the old route has been built over, and consequently a completely fresh route is likely to be constructed for this section.
This one of several houses in Old Station Court, Blunham which have been built on the Varsity Line alignment. More details of the old station for this village
