March/Peterborough to Spalding
The March to Spalding line closed on 27th November 1982. It was always an interesting line for the enthusiast especially on Summer Saturdays with hauled trains from the Midlands to/from Great Yarmouth and during the Spalding Flower Festival. Here are a few shots of the line in it's final years.
