Phase 2 continues the route from Coldham's Common to Cambridge railway station.

As of December 2024, we are in discussion with local landowners and stakeholders. We are awaiting the outcome of those conversations before we move forward with the scheme.

On-street section

• When the Trail reaches Coldham’s Lane, cyclists can choose to cross Coldham’s Lane Bridge and continue their journey on low-traffic streets to the north of the railway line. Cyclists can access the Beehive Centre, York Street, Ainsworth Street, Hooper Street and the area next to the Mill Road Depot site.
• Alternatively, access to the proposed route along the railway line on Network Rail land is through the Ridgeons’ site, and the adjoining Network Rail land. Parking would be unaffected and there are opportunities for improvements such as road resurfacing and planting.

The railway line

• The proposal is to continue the Trail through the currently unused arches of Mill Road Bridge on both northern and southern sides, avoiding on-road hazards. The route would run between the railway line and boundary fencing along tracks that are currently used for works vehicles. In this area, fencing and new gates for Network Rail maintenance access will be needed to ensure safety.
• The cycleways on both sides of the railway line in this area would be around 4m wide, with occasional widenings and narrowings. On the southern side a new ramp might be needed to join the Trail to the Carter Bridge. Access to the Trail could be created from William Smith Close and Argyle Street.
• The southern Busway and Trumpington Park & Ride are reached across the new Station Square.
