Yes, that is now a BP station. (Was Shell, I recall, before being rebuilt.)

The other proposed Cambridge addition is slightly odd though. The old
petrol station there
closed a few months ago for redevelopment, and originally said reopening in
March.
Passing today, it says reopening Spring. So there should be a petrol
station back at
that location, but it's not open yet.
