Pioneer Meridian 222001 'The Entrepreneur Express' begins the climb from the Nene Valley, seen in the background, to Sharnbrook summit working the 07.29 Sheffield to St. Pancras service. During winter and periods of heavy rain, the Nene Valley often floods creating the huge natural lakes that in turn become a haven for wildlife. This natural process of the floodplain doing what it is naturally designed to do prevents flooding elsewhere causing problems unless the planners have permitted development in these areas!
