For such a small and remote village deep in the Fens between Peterborough and Wisbech Murrow has a fascinating railway history. There were once two railways operated by different companies, two stations and a rare flat crossing. The GN & GE line ran between March and Spalding once being a busy freight route with a local passenger service also offered an alternative route for diverted express services, particularly during the summer months. The single track M & GN line crossed the GN & GE to the west of the village with a station located on the latter's line of the same name. Murrow East was located more conveniently for the village but was the first to close. This British Railways built (to an LNER design) box opened in 1950 at the site of the flat crossing replacing a much earlier box that was destroyed in an accident on the crossing. I last visited the box back in 1981 when it was still in use see...
