An InterCity 125 speeds over the level crossing at St James Deeping, located on the former GN route between Peterborough and Spalding. The line was in use as a diversionary route in January 1991 during engineering work on the ECML. The instruction on the gate makes an interesting alternative to Pull. [Note: Despite serving the village of Deeping St James, Lincolnshire, the station (closed to passengers in 1961) and signal box both carried the name St James Deeping.]
