If anyone is looking for something to do after the Christmas sprouts, there are probably some engineering works going on somewhere...

Peterborough is the only other blockade I can think of. Merry Christmas all.

I also heard a comment on the radio about Signal testing around Lincoln over Christmas, possibly part of the same job and a continuation of the never ending Lincoln works from a few years back.
