NEW MAY 2020. The main part of this file is an eight-page illustrated article which appeared in the Railway Magazine for May 1934, entitled 'Spalding as a Railway Centre'. The station was on the GN&GE Joint Line, and was served by both LNER and M&GN trains. The article contains a map and a track plan.

As a bonus, four further items are included. Three are taken from our scans of the LNER Magazine. From the February 1932 edition is a single page headed 'Lincolnshire Flowers'. In April of the same year a four-page illustrated article was featured with the title 'Spalding, Lincolnshire'. Finally in January 1942, when food was more important than flowers, two pages appeared on 'Pickles with Potatoes at Spalding'.

The fourth item is a page from the Ipswich Transport Bulletin, as included on our ITS Journal DVDs and their download. This one contains part of their Rail Report for June 1981. Even at that late date the Spalding Bulb Festival was still the occasion for a large number of special excursions, and that year's assortment of them was duly recorded - where each one came from, what hauled it and (as far as was known) where it went to be stabled.
