first for a spot of background history from wikipedia -
The Wisbech and March Bramley Line is a proposed heritage railway based in the town of March in Cambridgeshire, England, that aims to reinstate services over the disused (but still extant) railway line linking the town with Wisbech.
The passing of the Wisbech, St. Ives and Cambridge Junction Railway Act 1846 (c.ccclvi) authorised the construction of two lines from March railway station: a 7.8-mile line to Wisbech which was reached by an almost straight north-easterly route across The Fens and a line south to the market town of St Ives.

Although not recommended for closure in the Beeching Report of 1963, the series of lines around Wisbech were gradually closed from the 1960s onwards. Coldham station was the first to be closed in 1966, followed by the March to Watlington and March to Wisbech branches in September 1968. The line between March and Wisbech remained, however, open to freight traffic - namely steel coil for the Metal Box factory and occasional parcels, coal and pet food trains from Nestle Purina until Summer 2000. The line was singled in March 1972 with the lifting of the down rails.
february 14th 2012 - i started my journey along the track, from what used to be a level crossing at weesenham lane, i walked in a north eastely direction towards the town of march, i walked aprox. 2.5 - 3 miles along the 7.8 miles of track now over grown with brambles and throney bushes along the route of the tracks in my exploration of the bramley line i discoverd a few interesting out bulidings which i felt inclined to explore.
