Withdrawal of Service notice, Downham Market station
Withdrawal of Service notice, Downham Market station A closure notice posted inside Downham Market station regarding the impending closure of the former GN&GE/Joint line from March to Spalding that we surveyed over the previous two days. The same closure notice also lists the Lincoln Avoiding line from Greetwell West Junction to Pyewipe a line that Graham and I visited last year, see…. https://www.ontheupfast.com/p/21936chg/C377646004/x4-essendine-to-lincoln-20-08-80. Notice on this closure notice that the line was due to shut on 15.05.82 some three months previous to this photograph being taken. However, in red a sticker added to the notice reveals that ‘an objection’ had been received thus delaying the inevitable with the final train running on 29.11.82. Hindsight is a fine thing but with the changes and increase in freight traffic the Joint Line would be a valuable asset today and there is continual talk of its reopening even if on a slightly different route in places due to the trackbed being built on.
