Coldham railway station was a station in Coldham, Cambridgeshire. It was part of a branch of the Great Eastern Railway which ran from March to Watlington. The line closed for passengers in 1968 and freight in 2000. A recent plan by the Wisbech and March Bramleyline to restore the line between Wisbech and March may see trains return to Coldham in some form.
Coldham station was the first on the line to close in 1966. Nothing remains of the former station, with the exception of the former toilet block, which is under a lot of undergrowth which has built up since the station closed.

Famous quotes containing the words railway and/or station:
“Her personality had an architectonic quality; I think of her when I see some of the great London railway termini, especially St. Pancras, with its soot and turrets, and she overshadowed her own daughters, whom she did not understand—my mother, who liked things to be nice; my dotty aunt. But my mother had not the strength to put even some physical distance between them, let alone keep the old monster at emotional arm’s length.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
