Peterborough Nene Valley is a station on the Nene Valley Railway and is the current eastern terminus of the line. Situated adjacent to Railworld, the station can be found west of the East Coast Main Line, close to the Junction of London Road and Oundle Road.
The station was built in 1986 as part of the Nene Valley Railway's Peterborough extension. The station is built on its current site because the NVR could not access the original Peterborough East station site. The now demolished Peterborough East can be located by the extant railway sheds and platform face close to the Matalan store located on East Station Road off London Road.

The Nene Viaduct is a railway viaduct that carries the East Coast Main Line on the River Nene in the East of England. It is situated approximated 1 mile to the south of Peterborough railway station, and its two tracks still carry high-speed trains in the modern day. It has been Grade II* listed since 1998.
Built to carry the Great Northern Railway, the viaduct was designed by engineers William Cubitt and Joseph Cubitt, with construction finishing in 1850 as one of the last parts of the track between London and Werrington to be laid. The viaduct was strengthened in 1910 and 1914 and blue engineering brick has been added to some parts since the viaduct was built. When the line was quadrupled in 1924, a second bridge was constructed which is attached to the abutments of the first. However, this is not considered to be part of the structure.
The viaduct is owned and maintained by Network Rail, forming part of its Strategic Route Section G.01, which covers the East Coast Main Line and North East route between London Kings Cross and Peterborough. The overhead electrification supplies a 25kV AC current to electric trains.
It is part of the Catholic parish of St Peter and All Souls, Peterborough.
