Talk:Fen Line

Fen Line has consistently refused the "rural line" and "community rail" tags from the UK government and its agencies. Rural lines are usually operated at low speeds by diesel trains, like the Marston Vale line.

The Fen Line is a fully electric secondary line, usually operated by class 365 trains at up to 100mph, running on to the East Coast Main Line north of Hitchin and through to King's Cross. Why does Wikipedia disagree?

I have been introducing new regional templates. The one for East Anglia classes the Fen Line as a mainline. Our Phellap 17:38, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

FYI it's fully electrified and worked by 365's but the top speed is 40 mph, at least between Cambridge and Ely!

Thanks. I added a few notes on the types, names and future plans for the line. It will be combined with the KX-Cambridge line for the forseeable and the plan is to make it part of the Thameslink 3000 empire.

Currently the line in between Ely and Littleport is out of action due to severe damage to a bridge, and looks like it will be for some time, would this be worthy of inclusion in the article or are only rail accidents involving people counted?

No, if accidents are serious enough, not necessarily people, they are worth including. Simply south 00:25, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Cambridge Cruiser

I have remove the bit about more of the services terminating at Royston, as it isn't verified. I have looked at the current timetable, but it still seems to have four Cambridge to London services per hour. I can't see any King's Lynn services starting or ending at Royston.
