There was another near miss near Peterborough station on July 20th, according to the local rag....
At around 10:52am on Friday July 20, a track worker, acting as a site lookout for another track worker, narrowly avoided being struck by the 09:16am Leeds to King’s Cross passenger service, just to the south of Peterborough station.
The train was approaching along the up fast line at around 102 mph (164 km/h) when the driver saw the site lookout, sounded the train’s warning horn, and applied the train’s brakes.
The site lept out of the path of the approaching train about three seconds before the train passed him.
