Just after the River Nene is crossed the Peterborough to March line goes under the East Coast Main line (ECML) and alongside the Fair meadow car park. (This car park was were all the fairs were held and some times still are) In BR days you could take a good photo here, but trees were then planted alongside the line here and anti vandal fences put up. Photos are taken on this page from the NVR's car park and from behind the anti vandal fence.

Peterborough to March Railway line
The line then heads out to
Kings Dyke which is just outside Peterborough. On the to way to
Whittlesea we see the only brick works left around Peterborough, that are along this part of the line. There are now no rail sidings left as all the bricks now go by road.
Whittlesea has the only station which is a small basic station. The line then goes on to
Turves a small village in the fens with just a signal box and a few houses. It is then to on to
March this part of the line is in wide open flat fens, as is the next part of the line from March to Ely.
Peterborough on this site is in now in three parts BR 1970 to 1999 and 2000 till 2014 and 2014 till today

Ukrailways1970tilltoday.me.uk it is on railways but it is not just on trains but all things railways, with photos, which I have taken from the 1970s till now. I take photos of all things railways, steam diesel and electric trains, signal boxes, wagons any thing that is on the National Rail network, which was BR when I started taken photos.
