Anyone get caught up in the GE closure today between Marks Tey and Colchester (then later Witham and Colchester) due to the vehicle fire (containing gas cylinders) on the adjacent A12? One attempted a replacement bus service, but due to the widespread congestion in the area it was somewhat limited. It affected trains for pretty much the entire day. According to the Essex Fire & Rescue website logs, the Army brought in some "robotic equipment" to examine the cylinders this afternoon which sounds quite interesting.
