Ferry Meadows railway station
- Ferry Meadows railway station
Ferry Meadows is a station on the Nene Valley Railway between Wansford and Orton Mere. The current station has one platform, and has no car park of its own. In 2004, a new station building was added. Previously at Fletton Junction on the East Coast Main Line, the building was demolished, moved to Ferry Meadows and rebuilt brick-by-brick in its current location. In the Nene Park close by, there is a watersports centre, three children's play areas, three lakes and a miniature railway. The Park is open throughout the year, but most facilities such as the miniature railway and pedaloes only run from Easter to the end of October. Ferry Meadows station is on the site of the former Overton station.
TPO Museum
Ferry Meadows station has been put forward as the intended location for the Nene Valley's Travelling Post Office (TPO) museum. The group [http://www.tpo.org.uk] , which owns several TPO's, including the last surviving coach from the Great Train Robbery intend to build a museum to house their four TPOs and TPO artefacts. However, no timescale has been set for this museum to be built.
