Cambridge railway station has a very unusual layout, with the platforms approximately resembling a capital H - to the left of the left vertical stroke is the station car park, booking hall, etc. There are two bay platforms in the area between the two vertical strokes at both northern and southern ends, platforms 2 and 3 at the south end and 5 and 6 at the north. All the way along the right vertical stroke is a single platform face - the second longest in Britain (after Gloucester) - that is split into two numbered platforms (1 at the southern end and 4 at the northern) which are then subdivided into 1a, 4b, etc. There are several sets of points that allow access between this line and the lines adjacent at multiple places. This photograph is looking north from the southern end of platform 1, with platforms 2 and 3 off to the left. The Class 365 EMU is at platform 2.

This photograph is looking north from platform 1 from opposite about halfway along platform 2 (a train at platform 2 is just visible through the platform shelter).

This photograph is looking north from platform 1 from the southern end of the station building - level with the headwall of platforms 2 and 3 off to the left.

This photograph is looking north from about where the designation changes from platform 1 to platform 4.

This photograph is looking south from about the centre of the station - the white line is where the designation changes from platform 4 to platform 1.

A view from the southern end of the main platform (3/4) at Cambridge. Undoubtedly one of the longest in the country it is claimed by many that it is [i]the[/i] longest, however the Guiness Book of Records gives that honour to Gloucester (602 metres), and I haven't been able to find any sources online that give figures for Cambridge.
