Total collapse in service at Cambridge tonight due to an OLE issue south of the station. Seems something went wrong with the overhead on a GN train about 1745 and nothing has been able to get to Cambridge from the south since. Lots of reports about of commuters stranded for hours across GN and GA stations. Unfortunate timing, with lots of rain and wind - not a great night to be stranded somewhere exposed like Foxton
Anyone know more? Seems to have been pretty serious given the amount of time to sort it out - according to GA's website the affected train still hasn't been moved, over 6 hours later... Is it still likely to be an issue tomorrow?
(Per GN's website : 'Trains may be cancelled or delayed by up to 180 minutes' - don't think I've ever seen a number as big as 180 before in this context :-/
