Loham level crossing on the ECML is just to the north of Helpston there was a "Loham" signal box here. The signal box was removed when the signals were upgraded ready for the overhead wires. CTV from Helpston signal box now helps control the barriers at this level crossing and also the crossing on the Maxey Road at Helpston.
Helpston is a village on the The East Coast Main Line main line just to the north of Peterborough. The ECML runs from London to Edinburgh. The G.N.R and then the L.N.E.R used to run this line be for BR. This line has now been electrified, and is one of the top railways in the U.K.
GNER took over the Inter City trains from London to Scotland and Leeds previously run by BR. Then from December 2007 National Express took over these services. Today East Coast runs these trains.
To Helpston the Peterborough to Leicester line that has run along side the ECML from Peterborough station heads away westwards towards Stamford and away from ECML just to the north of the village.
