The Peterborough to March Railway line
The railway line between
Peterborough and
March runs from Peterborough railway station and across the River Nene and then under the ECML, past the
site of Peterborough East station. Peterborough East was the main Great Eastern Railway Peterborough station for this line. This station was closed and all services transferred to the Great Northern Peterborough North station, now called just plain Peterborough.
The railway line then heads out of Peterborough to Kings Dyke were there are brick works. There is a
signal box at Kings Dyke on the main Peterborough Whittlesea road. The first and only station is at Whittlesea which is still open. There is a
signal box called Whittlesea here.
The railway station at
March is still open and there is a large Network Rail Infrastructure Yard on the site of the old Marshalling Yard at Whitemoor.
