Will Cambridge be named ‘Station of the Year’?

Cambridge rail station has been shortlisted to be crowned ‘Station of the Year’ at the National Rail Awards.

The station has recently undergone a multi-million pound redevelopment with a wide range of improvements including a complete refurbishment of the existing ticket hall which has seen it double in size, creating more space during busy periods, open plan counter service, additional ticket vending machines and improvements to the customer information screens.

Passengers using Greater Anglia train services can now get tailored information about their journeys as the train operator launches four new route-specific Twitter accounts.

Live now, the new accounts are @ga_southend, @ga_mainline, @ga_westanglia and @ga_regional.

Passengers can follow the account specific to their journey and receive alerts and service updates about just those routes.

Train operator, Greater Anglia, is offering reduced priced tickets from just £5 between Southend and London.

The bargain price Advance tickets are available for off peak travel on trains from Southend Victoria and Prittlewell.

The discounted fares are ideal for a visit to Stratford’s Westfield shopping mall or for a trip out of the city to coast.
