This Photo is from the Steve Bucton Collection.
I have his Permission to use this Photo.

Today is the 1st of August 2018.

Here are a couple of Photos of the Station taken in 2015.





The town of Peterborough was a Railway Town for many years.
It is represented now with a Railway Museum, Tourist info in a Carriage, A Railway Memorial, Minature steamers at the entry of the town on several roads into the town, and, there is a Night Show at the Museum, which apparently is very popular. So it is a great place for Railway Memorabillia.


The Museum is at this link,

 A great way to advertise for the Rail Museum, a couple of Ks out of the town.






Morning, Today is the 3rd of August ,  2018.

 Some more photos will be posted here soon.

Good Morning,
Today is Monday August the 20th, 2018.
