March to Spalding.

The March to Spalding line closed on 27th November 1982. It was always an interesting line for the rail enthusiast especially during the Spalding Flower Festival and on Summer Saturdays with hauled trains from the Midlands to Great Yarmouth. Here are a few shots of the line in it's final years. I haven't been in the area for nearly thirty years and my memory is a bit foggy of locations etc. if there are any errors I would welcome any comments.
