Was caught up in some sizeable (30m+) delays into KGX early this morning, through dense fog in the Cambs/Beds flatlands. Most announcements attributed the delay to fog.
However, one announcement was rather more forthright, suggesting there were severe speed restrictions in place over level crossings (of which there are plenty on this stretch of line) due to the relatively poor visibility (and, presumably, the sheer volume of numpties choosing to ignore the signals).
Is this correct? And if so, is it standard procedure in terms of poor visibility, or something new?
