There had once been six signal boxes at Spalding until the Great Northern Railway embarked on a programme of alterations in 1920-1. Spalding No.2 opened in April 1920 and replaced an earlier box of the same name. This relatively large GN box, contained an 80 lever Tyers & Co. frame to the standard 4" centre pattern. Rationalisation took place after closure of the line to Boston in 1970 and the removal of the Down Goods Line to Mill Green and the box was finally abolished on 22nd July 1984, the area coming under the control of Spalding No.1. Note the Signalman outside the door keeping a watchful eye.
A pair of Volvo B10M coaches seen parked by the river awaiting school passengers. Not much I could do about the shadows I'm afraid!
At the front is MIL 2057, with a Plaxton Paramount 3500 body.
A view of Mount Spalding as I was heading down to the saddle between Rogers Peak and Mount Warren.
On the far right is UN13307 and behind the saddle of it and Spalding is Square Top Mountain.
The lake below is the uppermost of the Chicago Lakes, just a bit of ice on the lake when I did this hike last week, that will be changing.

YE52 FHG, DAF DB250LF/ Optare Spectra departs with the 11.07 505 service to Kings Lynn.
Formerly Norfolk Green no.2, and now Stagecoach 13987, the vehicle appears untouched by the new regime apart from the renumbering on the front nearside corner. It carries a particularly poignant reference on the side to the great North Sea floods of 1953, which so badly affected the East Coast.
On Bulb Festival day, 1983, the No 2 bobby steps into brief sunlight to take stock of locos and coaches.

Centrebus, the owners of Kimes since July 2011, are closing Folkingham depot and rebranding most of the routes under the Centrebus name. Progressively during August 2013 Kimes routes, drivers and buses have transferred to Centrebus depots at Grantham, Saxby and Corby leaving just the four Boston area buses, which work on routes 58 & 59, at Folkingham depot. These two routes pass to Brylaine from 27 August. The last operational day from Folkingham depot was therefore Saturday 24 August.
Friday 23 August 2013 and Olympian YAZ 8773, one of the four Boston area buses still running, loads at Spalding bus Station for the 0840 59 to Boston.
