Manea, Cambridgeshire

Still controlled by mechanical signalling this location, like so many others crossing the fenlands, offers plenty of open views of the railway. There is an air of old-fashioned-ness about the area, mainly thanks to the rural nature of the region and the traditional railway operations. Mind you, with the nearby container port of Felixstowe sending out and receiving several trains a day, there is plenty of freight to keep you amused! I am quite taken with the area but I don’t often pass this way.
