![]() | The route diagram template for this article can be found in Template:Hitchin to Cambridge Line RDT. |
This "line" does not really exist in the way that others do. Prior to electrification, the main route to Cambridge was from Liverpool Street. The line between Royston and Shepreth Branch Junction use to be operated by a diesel, and there were no through trains from Kings Cross.
I propose that this article be re-named to refer to the branch between Hitchin and Cambridge. The section between Kings Cross and Hitchin is well covered on other pages. Canterberry 18:03, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
Looking at the Quail Map, the line is referred to as the Royston & Hitchin Line and used to be a part of the Great Northern Railway. Canterberry 18:06, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
This page has recently been moved from the Hitchin to Cambridge Line. Can anyone provide any details of the references to "Cambridge Line" in Quail or the Sectional Appendix? The discussion from 2007 above appears to indicate that it is known under another name in Quail. Google searches turn up a book of the same name by Michael Bonavia but this concerns the Varsity Line.

The article title is "Cambridge line". I'm not sure I understand the proposals in the previous two sections regarding the name.
"Official" documentation or the Quail maps aren't relevant here; someone looking for information on this line probably wouldn't have looked there first. (As an aside the Oxford direction lines at Didcot are named the Up and Down Chester Lines; official designations aren't useful in manning Wikipedia articles. Moreover if you live in Bishops Stortford (for example), the Royston route isn't "the Cambridge Line" for you.
Finally, shouldn't "railway" be in there somewhere? Wikipedia isn't a railway enthusiast's playground. Afterbrunel ( talk) 06:09, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
Anyone fancy adding a couple of short sections for the junctions. TBH, they would only be needed as placeholders in case there is ever a derailment or similar at one or other.
Shepreth Branch Junction is especially needed since it is nowhere near
Shepreth, it is the other side of
Great Shelford (at
TL4615953060).
