It was officially a railway under engineers' possession until it was
handed over to the County Council, if you remember.

There are pictures of the Ouse bridge with a tarmac path over one
of the spans (the other being derelict). So I don't think it can
have been a railway all the way. Another reason why the "use the
un-ripped up old track" issue is an oversimplification.

This at Swavesey for example: http://www.panoramio.com/photo/6784944
and a little further west: http://www.panoramio.com/photo/10391958

The railway only extended to Fen Drayton by then.

About here then: http://www.panoramio.com/photo/4580596

Oh dear, more track that we should have stopped people ripping up,
so they could run trains on it!

That was a railway under engineers' possession at the time.
