As part of Railway 200, on Monday 5th May we're celebrating 50 years since the reopening of Watlington station. At 11am we'll be cutting a cake and unveiling some commemorative plaques.

Our event to mark 50 years since the reopening of Watlington station was very well supported. Special thanks to Kate Carpenter, one of the committee which led the campaign in 1974, who cut the celebratory cake.

Here's a couple more photo's from the ceremony at Watlington. Check out our website at flua.org.uk for more events as part of FLUA's 40th Anniversary and Railway 200....

There are still places available for what should be an interesting afternoon covering a wide variety of topics. FLUA will be in attendance and are looking forward to it. The event is open to all and there's no admission fee.

Yesterday saw the return of Class 379s to the Fen Line with a pair of units working the 05.14 King's Lynn to King's Cross and then the 07.12 service back to Ely. Many thanks to Mike Lamport who got up early to take some photo's.

Thanks to Jerry Alderson and his Railfuture colleagues for organising yesterday's conference. With speakers covering plans for a new Peterborough station quarter, open-access operations by Hull Trains and Lumo, and online ticket retailing there really was something for all.

These cyclists on the 08.42 obviously got caught in a downpour and made themselves at home drying out their coats and helmets!

Not seen this one before! Spotted at Cambridge North earlier today....

Today it's International Level Crossing Awareness Day - promoting the safe use of railway crossings and highlighting potential risks. Always take extra care and follow the instructions when crossing the railway. This is Fairfield Road just north of Downham Market station.

This upgrade would bring so many benefits including more freight moved from road to rail and another step towards an all day half-hourly service on the Fen Line.

Rachel Reeves at Waterbeach station on 9th June. Disappointingly she didn't travel one stop further to Ely and announce some good news on the long overdue work to increase capacity at this strategic bottleneck.

Go To Town? I did yesterday for the Campaign for Better Transport event at King's Cross and in keeping with the spirit of the event took the bus to the station! Early buses don't always connect with the trains but travelling later meant I had time to get my ticket and a coffee.
