The line originally closed in 1968 due to financial reasons.

There would be temporary parking on railway land to the south of Ford End Road during the construction.A 1.5km (0.9 mile)  tunnel has been planned to the east of Cambourne station, underneath the A428 and a proposed development at Bourn Airfield in Cambridgeshire.

Another 700m (770 yards) tunnel has been planned through Chapel Hill near the Cambridgeshire villages of Harlton and Haslingfield, which EWR said would protect Barbastelle bats living in the area.The plans include a new 1.1km (0.68 mile) viaduct north of Bedford over the River Great Ouse and Paula Radcliffe Way, and a 1.6km (one mile) viaduct near the Black Cat roundabout to cross over the A421, Bedford Road and A1, among others.Also planned is a 2.4km (1.5 mile) viaduct near Tempsford, Bedfordshire.

There will be space made for trains to turn around when they get to Cambridge station in the suburb of Cherry Hinton, which is to the east of the train station.This is for passengers to get off at Cambridge and trains continue to Cherry Hinton to turn around, rather than do so at Cambridge station.

In Bedfordshire, Ampthill Road, Cauldwell Street, Ford End Road, Bromham Road and A6 Great Ouse Way will be realigned to separate the railway and the A6.

Several roads that lead to the A428 near St Neots will also be realigned, but this was already the plan as part of the upgrade works on that road.Rising costs, planning delays and difficulty securing long-term funding meant backers pulled out, and so as public investment wavered, the vision began to fade.

All that was ever erected at the site was a large WonderWorld sign and a small wooden cabin.The land is now home to more than 1,000 houses at Priors Hall Park, and there are plans to build just more than another 5,000 houses.

Many faces of those who remember the end of World War Two have now gone, but communities across the UK - including in Northamptonshire - have been marking the 80th anniversary since guns fell silent in Europe.In Irthlingborough, the stillness of the early morning was broken by the plaintive sound of bagpipes on Parsons Green.
