ECML Peterborough to Newark

This section of the East Coast Main Line takes in a very famous stretch of track, Stoke Bank, the scene of A4 locomotive 4468 Mallard's world steam speed record breaking romp on 3rd July 1938.

    Moving again to Newark and the famous flat crossing. The evening sun glints off the front windscreens of 66159 which is held at the signal at Newark Crossing East Junction which protects the flat crossing at Newark on the Lincoln to Nottingham Line. The train will bear left here and join the ECML and head south to Peterborough.
    An unknown DVT leads 91107 over the flat crossing with 1A40 1740 Leeds to Kings Cross. This crossing had just recently been replaced.
    Sprinter 156419 takes the sharp curve between Newark Crossing South and East Junctions with a class 2 working, 2T74 1840 Newark North Gate to Grimsby Town.
