Class 114 DMU, 11.20 Cambridge-Doncaster, Postaland Graham and I retraced our steps from yesterday following the route of the former GN & GE Joint from Spalding back to March in the knowledge that it would be closing in the not-too-distant future. Indeed, it did close, after a month’s delay, on 29.11.82 but much of the infrastructure remained in place for quite some time. In happier times over a year before closure the 11.20 Cambridge to Doncaster DMU service passes the closed Postland station worked by a refurbished Class 108 set. This particular set is one of the first one hundred and sixty-three (out of two hundred and thirty-eight) that were refurbished as it was only these vehicles that received the blue and white stripe paint scheme. This direct through service would today be useful with this journey now meaning a change at Peterborough. Keywords: Class 114 DMU 11.20 Cambridge-Doncaster Postaland First generation DMU
