The scene is now almost unrecognisable; the former goods yard now stores containers going, it is believed, for scrap while the surviving section of the Mildenhall branch disappears through recently installed gates and into the undergrowth. Still visible just left of centre is the waiting room on Barnwell Junction's former down platform while in the distance the footbridge and the bridge over the river can be made out. The line north of Cambridge was electrified in 1992. Photo by Tiger reproduced from Geograph under creative commons licence
