Taken from Cambridge's Mill Road bridge the stabling point is seen along with Cambridge North signal box. In the background, a number of Class 37s are seen that were used extensively on East Anglian services including trains between here and Liverpool Street. The first generation Class 114 DMU stabled displays two liveries indicating that the leading car is unrefurbished with the trailing car having been treated. Cambridge North box is an LNER structure dating from 1926 that was to close two years after this photograph was taken on 16.10.82 with the opening of Cambridge PSB. Notice the extensive timber yard behind the box and sidings, it is still trading today now being Cambridge's branch of Travis Perkins.
