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.

An unknown 37 rounds the curve into Spalding from the March direction. The bridge abutments in the background are the former M and GN Spalding avoiding line from Sutton Bridge. 16th August 1980
