[edit] Royston Branch Line or Shepreth Branch Line
This "line" does not really exist in the way that others do. Prior to electrification, the main route to Cambridge was from Liverpool Street. The line between Royston and Shepreth Branch Junction use to be operated by a diesel, and there were no through trains from Kings Cross.
I propose that this article be re-named to refer to the branch between Hitchin and Cambridge. The section between Kings Cross and Hitchin is well covered on other pages.Canterberry 18:03, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
Looking at the Quail Map, the line is referred to as the Royston & Hitchin Line and used to be a part of the Great Northern Railway.Canterberry 18:06, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
- I've had a check and it seems to be more officially the Hitchin-Cambridge Line e.g. ECML route plan from Network Rail. If you feel there is a case but are unsure, you could put this article on WP:RM#Other proposals. Otherwise, i would suggest moving it to Hitchin-Cambridge Line via the move tab once you've clicked on the article. Simply south 18:40, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
