Cambridge Train Station
To get from Cambridge train station to the Cambridge city centre, you have four options.
First, you can take a taxi from the train station to Cambridge. There is a taxi rank located right outside of the station exit, and there is no shortage of taxis waiting after trains arrive. The drive to the city centre is less than five minutes, so it is quick and inexpensive. Taking a taxi is a good option if you are visiting Cambridge with heavy bags or need to travel to the city quickly.
Second, you can take a bus from Cambridge train station to the Cambridge city centre. There is a bus stop just past the taxi rank outside of the train station, and multiple city buses stop there. Not all buses have head signs indicating that they terminate in the city centre, but many do. If you are not sure, ask the driver. The bus journey takes 5 to 10 minutes and tickets cost £1.40. You can buy tickets from the driver when you board the bus.
Third, there is a cycle hire facility at the Cambridge train station where you can rent a bike to travel to Cambridge. Station Cycles is open most days from 8 or 9am until 6 or 7pm, and offers a wide range of cycles for hire. The cost of a four-hour rental is £7 (free for students with valid IDs), and the cost of a one-day rental is £10 (£9 for students). There are also group rates and longer rental periods available.
Fourth, you can get from the Cambridge train station to the Cambridge city centre by walking. Exit the station and walk straight down Station Road until you reach Hills Road. Turn right on Hills Road, which becomes Regent Street, and walk for several hundred metres until it becomes a pedestrianized street called St Andrews Street. Once there, you have reached the heart of Cambridge.
