Telescopes along the line

[edit]

I have updated the page to clarify that the Mullard observatory existed concurrently with the railway, as it opened in 1957. Some of its rail-mounted telescopes, including the One-Mile and Half-Mile telescopes, were not using the line of the railway but rather of ex-RAF sidings to the south. I also removed mention of the AMI since this replaced the Ryle Telescope, rather than being (as was implied) an additional telescope existing concurrently. For now, mention of the CLFST is also removed as I can't tell whether it is built along the line or not. Finally I eliminated the mention that this was chosen for being "the nearest suitable abandoned line to Cambridge"; this may or may not be true (the Mildenhall Line was closer, but suitability unclear), but proximity to the existing MRAO was clearly also a factor. I would welcome well-sourced edits that can clarify this further. Stephen lamppost (talk) 18:05, 25 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
