Cherryhinton railway station (spelling[1]) was located on the Newmarket Railway's line between Шаблон:Stnlnk and Шаблон:Stnlnk,[2]Шаблон:Page needed serving the Cambridgeshire village of Cherry Hinton.
History
The station opened on 9 October 1851,[1] along with the Newmarket Railway's extension from Шаблон:Stnlnk to Cambridge.[3] The Newmarket Railway was absorbed by the Eastern Counties Railway on 30 March 1854,[4] and just over a month later, Cherryhinton station closed on 1 May 1854.[1] The line remains in use.
Reopening of the station was proposed by Cambridgeshire County Council in May 2013 as part of an infrastructure plan to deal with projected population growth up to 2050.[5][6] A proposal to reopen the station had previously been made in 1996 but 70% of residents who responded to a Council questionnaire were against it; in any event, a new station was not considered viable at that time.[6]

The property was offered for sale by Grainger plc as a private residence in February 2013.[7] The official name of the station house on its deed is the Gate House, as it formerly served as a level crossing gatehouse to the gate keeper who manually opened and closed the level crossing gates for the railway line.[7]
