On Thursday 18th August 2022 at the Corn Exchange, St. Ives, members of COPE (Cambridgeshire Old Peoples Experience) gathered to listen to Peter Wright talk about the history of March railway station.
He discussed the reasons for such a large station in a comparatively small town, its traffic, accidents, decline and recent refurbishment. He concluded with a brief review of the B17 project. The leaflets that were distributed stimulated a very substantial subsequent donation. This made the event one of the most worthwhile that Cambs and Fens has ever attended.
