Wisbech and March Bramleyline
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Wisbech and March "Bramleyline" is an embryonic heritage railway that aims to reinstate services over the disused March to Wisbech line.
First opened on 3rd May 1847, the Bramley Line between Wisbech East and March was closed to passenger traffic on 9th September 1968. There was one single intermediate station at Coldham, which closed on 7th March 1966. The line was double tracked from March to Wisbech then singled on to Magdalen Junction via Emneth, Smeeth Road, Middle Drove and link at Magdalen Junc to the Cambridge/Kings Lynn main line. Whilst Wisbech East Station has been lost to redevelopment, the line is now a single line, the old down line having been lifted as far as Weasenham Lane all the way into the old goods yard now under the ownership of Nestle Purina in Wisbech but the branch is still connected to the National Rail network at Whitemoor junction in March.
The line's rolling stock currently consists of former Gatwick Express Class 488 unit nos. 8209 and 8313, stabled in March station sidings.
