View NW, towards Stamford, Manton and Leicester/Nottingham: ex-Midland Melton Mowbray - Peterborough line, which parallels on the west side the ER ECML into Peterborough for about five miles - making a splendid stretch for train-watching. The 12.42 stopping train from Leicester London Road is headed by ex-Midland Fowler 4F 0-6-0 No. 43965 (withdrawn 12/59). Walton station, visible in the distance, served the Midland line only and was closed on 7/12/53.
