Waldersea level crossing on Long Drove This single track line between March and Wisbech was closed to passengers in 1968 but remained in use as a goods line until 2001. Volunteer groups have plans to re-open the line but it will cost millions as it is in a very poor state of repair and overgrown in a lot of places.
