As a more philosophical alternative to ‘You don’t have to be mad to work here, but it helps’, you occasionally see workplace posters which read: ‘Price. Speed. Quality. Pick any two.’ Unless you work on public infrastructure in the UK, of course, where the sign presumably ends: ‘Why not consult some lawyers and avoid all three?’
In 1922 Trumpington, in South Cambridge, briefly had its own railway station. This was built to bring visitors to the Royal Agricultural Society’s show, which ran for five days, after which the station was demolished. Nearly a century later, it was sensibly decided that South Cambridge deserved a new, more permanent station. It took six years of planning before building work started. The station opened last month at a total cost of £228 million.
