Unfortunately it hadn't, but it was a new problem. The majority of services were cancelled 'due to an incident', apart from two of the slow trains (all the later slow trains were cancelled). So I rushed to the station to get one of the two that weren't cancelled and they were warning it could be subject to delays between Huntingdon and Peterborough. Being a really nice evening despite the strong headwind I decided to get off at Huntingdon and cycle the 18miles home.
I decided to go by the quiet Holme Road and hopefully say hello to a local chain gang around 6.45pm, when something came up behind me tonight and peeped their horn. I actually thought it was an artic driver who waited patiently to pass before I passed him again in a layby. It just seemed like a toot 'I'm here'. As I was doing less than 16mph into a strong headwind and lugging a heavy lap top, I thought I'd return the favour and moved towards the verge and looked for the first gap to pull into. About 30s later they came by and stopped 'Get on the cycle path'. What cycle path I responded? Instead of overtaking though when he had plenty of time to do so he slotted in behind me and waited longer for another safe gap before accelerating at speed but giving me reasonable space 😕
Unfortunately I use the camera in a waterproof case so the sound is not good.

Someone decided it would be a good idea to sit on the arch of the Crescent Bridge on Thorpe Road. I got held up at Peterborough trying to get back to Felixstowe and the automated station announcement just couldn't keep up with the cancellations & delays.
