Peterborough

Description

Peterborough is a large junction station on the East Coast Main Line in the UK. While most long distance services pass through without stopping, it is also the point at which several regional routes converge. Additionally, a large amount of the UK’s freight traffic passes through the station on its way to and from Felixstowe, and a new diveunder has recently been constructed to the north of the station to allow freight to access the line to Spalding without blocking the main line.

The timetable includes the following standard off peak services:
