Haverhill railway station was a station in Haverhill, Suffolk, on the Stour Valley Railway, which opened in 1865 and closed in 1967. It was sometimes known as Haverhill North because of a separate station in the town on the Colne Valley and Halstead Railway.
In 2019 the Cambridge Metro project unveiled a plan to reopen Haverhill and Linton stations, for a commuter light railway to Cambridge city centre.[1]
In November 2023, after the Cambridge South East Transport scheme was paused, Railfuture East Anglia wrote to councillors to suggest that reopening the rail to Haverhill would be a better solution.[2]
