Kings Dyke signal box (GE, 1889)
Kings Dyke signal box (GE, 1889) Following our brief foray along the Lincolnshire Loop Line we headed back south around the eastern edge of Peterborough and stopped at King’s Dyke level crossing. Just west of Whittlesey the level crossing was where the busy A605 road crosses the line from Peterborough to March with King’s Dyke signal box controlling it and the associated signalling. At the time of writing in 2023 the level crossing has recently closed with the opening of the King’s Dyke Crossing Scheme which has seen a new road crossing the railway thus rendering the level crossing redundant. I was expecting the box to also have closed but when I visted in May 2023 it was still manned being the fringe box from Peterborough. The 1889 Great Eastern box is seen in happier times before it had its character denuded by a mass of UPVC, see…. https://www.ontheupfast.com/p/21936chg/28569144004/kings-dyke-signal-box-great-eastern The large brickworks chimney is also now history.
