MANEA MATTERS
                                                              MANEA MATTERS
      Getting About


       Trains

       Trains run from Manea to both Ely and Peterborough (opposite platforms – clearly signposted),
       from where connections can be boarded for other destinations. However, due to the possibility
       of further strike action and the resultant disruption, it is impossible for accurate timetables to
       be announced three months in advance. So we continue to suggest you check the National Rail
       Network website or pick up a timetable from March station - thank you. There may also be some in
       the Waiting Shed at Manea station.

                               that run into March and Wisbech.
