Construction of Cambridge South Station

From Network Rail:
The new station will connect the Cambridge Biomedical Campus with potential destinations such as central London, Stansted Airport, and Birmingham.
The station will also provide access to a growing area of high-quality employment and help relieve congestion in the local area by supporting the development of environmentally sustainable transport in Cambridge.
In the future, East West Rail services from Bedford to Cambridge could serve the new station.
Bordered by a restricted flight zone due to the nearby hospital, the video hopes to show the construction progress but sadly couldn't get to the other side of the station.

What a pity they did not design the OLE so the masts did not have to poke through holes in the roof.

I suppose that large roof will be covered in solar panels?

That's nicely under way, all it needs now is the route sorting between Bedford & Cambridge and we will have the Varsity line back up and running again.

That is going to take a very long time to sort out. And financing is not even approved yet either. The next government may cancel it altogether.

Well, at least its design isn't entirely based upon the most recent 'cookie cutter' style stations that have opened in the last few years. I guess being Cambridge they had to spend an extra 10% on the design ? 😊
