It's clear now, but anything I had seen on Twitter was described as a 'Track Defect'

Recently I was on a morning service that was held outside Eaglescliffe due to broken rail just beyond the station on the line to Northallerton. After around 20 minutes, the Grand Central which had been sat in the station ahead of us had been reversed and passed us, going via Ferryhill then reversing again before heading south. When we got moving a few minutes after that and arrived at Darlington, the Grand Central was already there and sat in P1.
