Fulbourn railway station
Fulbourn railway station (for some time misspelled "Fulbourne" by British Rail) is a disused railway station on the Ipswich to Ely Line, and located between Cambridge and Six Mile Bottom. It served the Cambridgeshire village of Fulbourn, until its closure in January 1967.[2] Although the station is now closed, the line remains in use—with passenger services provided by Abellio Greater Anglia.
