Cambridge railway station is the principal station serving the city of Cambridge in the east of England. It stands at the end of Station Road, 1 mile (1.6 km) south-east of the city centre. It is the northern terminus of the West Anglia Main Line, 55 miles 52 chains (89.6 km) down the line from London Liverpool Street, the southern terminus.

The station is managed by Greater Anglia. It is one of three railway stations in the city (the other being Cambridge North, approximately 2.5 miles (4 km) away, and the under-construction Cambridge South). Cambridge is noted for having the third-longest platform on the network in England.[citation needed]

Cambridge is also the terminus of three secondary routes: the Fen line to King's Lynn, the Breckland line to Norwich and the Ipswich–Ely line to Ipswich. It is the thirteenth busiest station in the UK outside London.
