Whittlesea station
 
Whittlesea station is today in 2021. The station has two platforms set about over 100ft apart. New wooden shelters and plant boxes have been added this year. Not all trains stop at this station.
 
There is a signal box which has signals and wooden level crossing gates that are still worked by a gate person from a cabin near the station by hand.
 
The railway goes around Whittlesea with the station on the edge of the town and a fair walk from the centre of the town.
 
 
The Peterborough to March Railway line
 
The railway line between Peterborough and March  runs from Peterborough railway station and then across the River Nene and 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 line 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 line then heads out across the fens towards March. At Turves a small hamlet or village were there is a signal box called Three Horse Shoes.
 
The railway station at March is still open and there is a Network Rail Infrastructure Yard on the site of the old Marshalling Yard at Whitemoor.
