Great Northern Road
This is a newish road in a part of Cambridge which has changed out of all recognition in the last ten years. It runs from Tenison Road to Station Square and the railway station car park.
The Great Northern Railway was one of the railway companies which served Cambridge in the years before the Grouping of 1923 which amalgamated a large number of companies into the Big Four, the GWR, the Southern, the LMS and the LNER (which included the GNR). In 1948 these companies became the publicly-owned British Railways. After the privatisation of the rail network in the 1990s some of the old railway names, including Great Northern, were revived by train operating companies. These names tend to be ephemeral as franchises pass from one owner to the next, or in some cases are re-nationalised.

Cambridge: Great Northern Road
This road links Station Square and Tenison Road (ahead) and is the access route for taxis. The ground floor retail spaces of One Station Square, on the left, have recently been occupied by coffee, sandwich and grocery chains. All this yellow brick and buff concrete looked very dreary on a grey winter afternoon.

Relocated bike racks by Cambridge Station
With new flats behind on the old Focus store site. There is a lot of work and disruption at the moment, which will hopefully be worth it.
