Kimbolton railway station was a railway station in Kimbolton, Cambridgeshire. The station and its line closed in 1959.
The journey from London St. Pancras would take approximately three hours and involve changing trains and a wait at Kettering - a journey described by former Kimbolton School headmaster William Ingram as "long and wearisome", especially considering that the station was over two miles away from the village centre.[2]
