Exning Road Halt on the Cambridge & Mildenhall branch line was opened in November 1922, and closed in 1962. The halt was not much more than a levelled space, with no raised platform or buildings of any kind; it was situated to the south of the bridge carrying the B1103 Burwell – Newmarket road, and to the east of the line. Access was by a footpath down the side of the bridge approach. The bridge was found to be dangerous, and was filled in c.2000. The picture is from the top of the bridge, looking south along the old trackbed, the halt was in the grassed area to the left of the picture.
