Services

The station is served by four operators:

• First Capital Connect serve the station as part of their service from London King's Cross to King's Lynn. Outside peak hours the services run non-stop between London and Cambridge as part of the half-hourly "Cambridge Cruiser" service. One train per hour then continues beyond Cambridge, stopping at all stations on the Fen Line to King's Lynn. The journey from King's Cross to Ely is timetabled to take just over an hour on the fastest services. Services are more frequent (up to every half an hour) during peak hours when demand is highest. During peak hours most trains divide (northbound) or couple (southbound) at Cambridge which adds some minutes to the journey time. In addition, during peak hours most services make additional stops between London Kings Cross and Cambridge which contributes further to an extended journey time. Most services are operated by Class 365 electrical multiple units though Class 317 electrical multiple units are used occasionally.
• National Express East Anglia serves the station with three routes:
  • An hourly service between Cambridge and Norwich via the Breckland Line. These services use Class 170 Turbostar units.
  • The Ipswich-Ely-Peterborough service which operates at two-hourly intervals. (Most of these services actually originate at London Liverpool Street prior to Ipswich but through journeys are not necessarily advertised since the route is very indirect.) These services use Class 170 Turbostar diesel multiple units.
  • On weekdays there are several services that operate between King's Lynn and London Liverpool Street via Cambridge in the morning peak with several return services in the evening peak. On Saturday there is one early morning journey from London Liverpool Street to Ely with an almost immediate return journey. There is no service on Sunday. These services use Class 317 electrical multiple units.
• East Midlands Trains provides an (approximately) hourly service from Norwich to Liverpool via Manchester, Sheffield, Nottingham and Peterborough. Services are operated using Class 158 diesel multiple units which change direction at Ely. Some early morning services commence at Cambridge and some late evening services terminate at Cambridge. At other times passengers must change at Ely for a connection to Cambridge.
• CrossCountry trains provides an hourly service from Birmingham New Street to Stansted Airport. This service is routed via Leicester, Peterborough and Cambridge and uses Class 170 Turbostar diesel multiple units.
