Peter Kerslake says "Situated between Magdelen Road and March, Wisbech was an important location on the former Great Eastern line linking the Kings Lynn main line to March and the North, and this view shows "Claud Hamilton" 62543 paused but cleared to depart westwards on one such cross country working in 1958.
Invariably in this work weary external condition the "Claud Hamiltons" were the "Workhorses" in East Anglia, rostered on passenger duties within North Norfolk, Cambridgeshire and Suffolk during their working lives."
