The 14.05 Peterborough to Cambridge service is seen leaving March station worked by Class 101 DMU leading a Class 105 on the rear. Along with Class 31 locomotive-hauled services DMUs operated the majority of trains in this part of East Anglia and the Fens. Notice in this view that March station still had all four platforms in operation with just the two to the left having tracks laid today. The platforms to the right served passengers and traffic travelling via the GN&GEJR to Spalding and the Wisbech branch both of which have now succumbed. However, there are constant rumblings about the reopening of the latter route in some form or another.
