A remote location between Whittlesey and March on the Peterborough-March-Ely route. A well-restored ex-GER signalbox still controls the adjoining signals and barrier crossings. Disused goods depot still standing.
No local facilities except for a good pub.
Superb views over the flat fen landscape, excellent for photography of this busy line traversed by Central,One,GBRF,EWS and Freightliner services
