Popped out to see this at St neots as thought it might be something interesting but left as got bored waiting. It seems to have stopped at biggleswade. Does anyone know if its had problems?

ECS on the move again (134 mins late at Sandy booked 1033), but there's going to be some hungry punters waiting on the platform, as it's the Northern Belle Sunday Lunch train:

booked out of Nottingham at 1234, for a Derby-Sheffield-Gainsborough circular back to Nottingham etc.

I like the description, "This service was cancelled throughout due to a mishap".
The ECS on realtimetrains has been showing as "approaching" St Neots since 1251 (it's now 1505 as I write this).

Now moving again and approaching Peterborough nearly 5 hours late.
