The staff have been great and have let us onto the platform so we can get some fresh air and they have also been handing out bottled water as it’s very hot. “Of course it’s never good to be delayed but it’s not important in the grand scheme of things, it’s obviously a very sad situation and everyone who is stuck here at the moment is very patient and understanding.”Share10:58James CampbellHull Train stuck at St NeotsThe Hull Train is currently stuck in CambridgeshireThe Hull Train is currently stuck in CambridegshireShare
