The GRIP 3 review will assess what is required to deliver the development, ensuring it is economically viable and meets the councils' requirements.
East Cambridgeshire District Council Leader, James Palmer, said: "Soham is a growing town and a very popular place to live. It is only right that we, as local councils, press extremely hard for the infrastructure needed to coincide with housing growth."
A Network Rail spokesperson added: "We are working with our partners at Cambridgeshire County Council and East Cambridgeshire District Council to look into the design and feasibility of a new station at Soham that could potentially bring significant benefits to the area."
