BTW, what about local transport from and to South station?
There isn't any. The station is in effect in the middle of field west of >>> the Biocampus, no car park or other vehicular access (although I need to >>> do a site visit to confirm there's no kiss-and-ride facility, whether

Bus stops are all within the Biocampus, and correspondence I've been

Is there not a bus stop on Francis Crick Avenue?
For some buses, and it's quite a way from the station.
I don't have the detail of the station layout but from above it looks
like the same sort of distance as the island platforms at Cambridge to

Platform 6 at Cambridge [Central] is a very old north facing bay
platform. While I don't recall ever having caught a train from it (they
tend to go from platform 5) there's no reason I know why they couldn't.

Thank you. Found it after having a close look.
Earlier I thought between platforms 5 and 7, but
they name it TL. Maybe platform 6 is good for reversing.
Does it lack information screens etc ?

RTT suggests that 5 and 6 are both used for Ipswich and Norwich
services. That matches my experience. 5 seems to get more use but six
isn't idle.
