Orton Mere is a station on the Nene Valley Railway and is situated between Ferry Meadows and Peterborough Nene Valley, adjacent to the River Nene.[1]
Orton Mere provides access to the eastern end of the Nene Park. At Orton Mere, the Nene Valley Railway passes under the Orton Parkway, part of the complex road system built when Peterborough was allocated New Town status.
The station has 2 platforms. The station building is not in use. [1] A signal box was damaged by fire as a result of arson in March 2023, restored, and reopened in March 2024.[2]
Orton Mere station appears in the James Bond film Octopussy and is easily identified by the flyover carrying the Nene Parkway.
