Delays through Peterborough 19/06

[142094]

Being reported that someone is threatening to jump off a bridge near Peterborough, so everything is delayed. And I mean everything.

Trains will be able to resume soon, as they have fortunately been removed.

Report of a male on a bridge at Walton, with a rope around his neck, threatening to jump. It must be a day for it. Also had a male escape from the mental health unit near Sleaford and play chicken with EMT services. Luckily the first train having been cautioned managed to stop in time as the man stepped in front of it.

I went past you about 1945 on the London-Nottingham. That explains what they were doing with two 170s!

Standard procedure when the job stops east of Leicester is to hold the Stansted trains there so they don't get stuck in the middle of nowhere. Last big disruption I had 3 x 3 car 170s in platform 2, 2 coupled together eventually and the 3rd followed right behind. Poor buggers in the leading unit were stuck at Ketton for something like 2 hours before returning to Leicester, the train after went via Nottingham which I don't believe they can anymore as XC has removed the route knowledge from it's crews.
