East Midlands Trains Class 158, No. 158799, heads across the Hundred Foot Washes near Manea in Cambridgeshire, with the 1552 Norwich to Liverpool Lime Street service, on Friday 25th May 2012. After weeks of heavy rain throughout April and early May, the Washes, which form an essential part of the River Great Ouse drainage network and an important wildfowl refuge, have been turned into a massive lake, only half a mile wide but stretching from horizon to horizon to the north and south of the railway line.
