Abington railway station (England)

Abington railway station served Little Abington, Great Abington and Babraham in Cambridgeshire. It closed in 1851, along with its line which was one of the earliest line closures in England.

(The existence of this station is disputed. It is suggested that the name Abington was, if used at all by the railway, an alternative name for the first location of Bourne Bridge station.) [2]
