This is the line of the former Cambridge-Bedford railway - odd that the path just peters out here.
I only realised the other day that this route across Trumpington Meadows Country Park is the line of the former Bedford-Cambridge railway.
There was a bridge here on the Cambridge-Bedford railway - now severed by the M11 in any case.
