This is the approach to Longstanton from the north, just after leaving the new by-pass (B1050), and by the entrance to Cambridge Golf Club. The station which Station Road was named after has long gone. Long Stanton station was just to the north of here away from the village. It was on the Cambridge to March line and closed on 5th October 1970 - see http://www.disused-stations.org.uk/l/long_stanton/ The Cambridge Guided Busway now follows the route at Longstanton - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambridgeshire_Guided_Busway
