23rd January 2005

On the 22nd January 2005, 40145 passed along this line on the Silver Jubilee railtour from York to Norwich via, Liverpool Street. Getting off my lazy backside for a change, I got out early to catch the train at Manea, and then spent the rest of the day photographing trains along the line.

From Peterborough to Ely there are 6 signalboxes: The first is Kings Dyke [1899] and then Whittlesea [1887], Three Horse Shoes [1901], March East Jcn [1885], March South Jcn [1927], and Manea [1883]. There is also a Portakabin at Stonea [1984] which I did not visit. All pictures were taken from public land.
