The bad luck strikes again...
When I got to Kings Cross at 20:30 last night (Saturday) I was greeted with a message that stated previous signalling problems in the Cambridge area had been resolved... or so I thought.
After waiting an additional 15 or so minutes, the platform for my 20:45 FCC London Kings Cross - Cambridge service was announced. Took another 6-8 minutes past original departure before we left...
Now everything seemed to be fine till we got to Royston. Must have been around 21:20 now. Where after a good 15 minutes in Platform 2 we were told that Cambridge signal box had said due to a fire, no more trains would be going northbound all night, and that this train was being terminated at Royston.
Cue a massive offloading to the station car park to look for buses. 2 buses turned up (that I saw) and for 45 minutes I kept going from the train to the car park as I was a group leader of 6 other agitated teens...
Then at around 22:15 we were told the issue had been resolved at we'd be terminated again at Cambridge (not the original destination of Kings Lynn).
My question is - where these 2 seperate issues (the cleared one I saw at Kings Cross + the new one I was caught up in at Royston) or where they linked?
