The layout is based upon the Haverhill station on the Colne Valley and Halstead Railway, 1863 - 1965. The station was opened as the northern terminus of the CVLR with prospects of extending to Cambridge. In 1865 the GE railway opened its Cambridge to Sudbury line with a connecting spur to the CVLR. In 1924 the passenger service was diverted to the GER station, although we still run workman trains and specials to the station.
