ECML disruption north of Peterborough 19/12

[yorkie]

Anyone else caught up in this?

We've been told to expect a delay but we have not yet reached the area.

Looking at Traksy there appears to be a lot of trains stuck around Helpston junction

Edit: LNER have stated

Delays between Peterborough and Grantham expected until 11:15​

Affected routes​

between Peterborough and Grantham

Details​

Due to a road vehicle colliding with the level crossing barriers between Peterborough and Grantham trains may be delayed.

So looks like it may not be that bad

The crossing in question was Helpston.

Services got moving quite quickly. One service of note is EMR’s 1R66 which departed approx 20 late initially (I believe) - but had a passcom activation a minute north of Peterborough station and subsequently reversed for an ambulance to attend to a medical emergency.

Engineers were at Helpston crossing as 1R66 passed through circa 50mins late.

1R66 restarted right time from Nottingham as 1Z66.
