Location

Abbots Ripton railway station was a railway station on the East Coast Main Line in the English county of Cambridgeshire. Although trains on the now-electrified railway still pass the site, the station closed in 1958. Due to the position of the station in a cutting, it had two platforms which were staggered. They served the fast lines only, and a goods line ran around the back of each platform.
