Manea railway station /ˈmeɪniː/, on the Ely to Peterborough Line, serves the village of Manea in Cambridgeshire, England.
History
In 1966, the Minister of Transport Barbara Castle refused British Rail's request to close the station, although she did agree to the closure of the stations at Stonea and Bentley.[1] Trains stop on request.
Services
Currently, from Mondays to Saturdays, there are just two daily trains in each direction operated by CrossCountry. There are two eastbound services to Cambridge and Stansted Airport, with two westbound services to Peterborough, Leicester and Birmingham New Street. There is no Sunday service.
From 28 December 2013, Greater Anglia added Manea as a calling point to all services between Peterborough and Ipswich/Colchester from Monday to Saturday, providing two hourly service in each direction in addition to CrossCountry services. On weekdays, an additional twenty-five trains will call at Manea. There will continue to be no services on Sundays.[2]
