31179 passes Stonea a short distance southeast of March leading the 1M67 13.22 Norwich to Birmingham New Street service. Back in 1981 this was a locomotive-hauled service composed of a long rake of Mk.I stock, today, whilst this exact service does not run parts of it do finding you travelling on either a Class 170 or a Class 158 both composed of just two carriages….progress, I’m not so sure? Taken from the safety of the level crossing this signal box can be seen at a jaunty angle caused by it falling into the Fenland soil, two years later it was demolished and replaced with a Portakabin in the same spot.
