Can remember once the annoyed guard shouting for everyone to move down the train. It was one of those single unit Lincoln to Peterborough jobs, and the last service of the day at 16:00 or something. He wasn't too impressed when I pointed out if this actually was a train we wouldn't all be packed...
Can't believe no-one has had a guess yet, didn't think it was that difficult.
Second clue. A nearby pub (now demolished) named The Rescuers, paid homage to the efforts of rescue teams following a disaster at the colliery just north of the station.
The "triangle" formed by the railway and the road at the bottom of the picture, historically contained a previous similarly named station with a junction that led off to the east.
I'd like to nominate the Peterborough to Spalding section of line. Beautiful scenery and the nearby peaks are snow topped even in summer. The journey seems timeless as you speed through the Cambridgeshire/Lincolnshire border at nearly 125mph whilst enjoying the delights of first class.
