20th September 1980

British Rail class 114 diesel unit at Orton Mere, Nene Valley Railway 20 September 1980. Over the course of this "Eurosteam" weekend, a number of shuttle services were operated to the NVR at Orton Mere from Peterborough, the first time this had been done. The numbers of the DMU coaches are not recorded. Jeremy Chapter.

Class 120 NVR Orton Mere 6 August 1983. For a few Saturdays during the school holidays in summer 1983 BR ran a DMU shuttle three times a day to connect Peterborough station via Fletton Junction with the Nene Valley Railway at Orton Mere. I travelled all the way down from Scotland to "do" this link line. Here we see the DMU having set back to allow the NVR steam service from Wansford to arrive. Today the line continues beyond where the sugar factory used to be at Woodston to Peterborough Town station, a new build almost but not quite where the former Peterborough East station used to be so Orton Mere now sees little use.
