This short section of the B1382 through Queen Adelaide is crossed by three railway lines, all situated within less than one kilometre. Two can be seen here: the March/Peterborough line in the foreground and the London to Kings Lynn mainline a short distance further along the road. Ely North Junction is located at Queen Adelaide, approximately one-and-a-half miles north of Ely station. From Ely North Junction the electrified ex-GER London-Kings Lynn mainline runs north to Littleport, Downham Market and Kings Lynn. Two non-electrified double-track lines branch at North Junction: one diverges northeast to Norwich (it is marketed as "Breckland Line") and the other northwest to March and Peterborough where there are connections to the East Coast Mainline (ECML) to Scotland and the route to Birmingham.
