After last weeks bomb scare at King's Lynn, today the calm at Wisbech was broken by someone taking what they thought was an unexploded bomb into the police station !! This meant the area, including the Horsefair roundabout, was sealed off for a time during the afternoon.
This was the scene near Walpole Highway at about 14.20 with the driver of 37569 on the 13.10 from Peterborough stopping to warn his colleague driving 37577 on the 10.48 from Lowestoft of the chaos ahead ! I just happened to be in the area after enjoying an excellent Sunday lunch at the King of Hearts in West Walton and it made a bit of a mockery of my previous futile attempts to get a picture of two elephants passing each other here.
Other than the delays caused by this incident, the rest of the day was fairly normal, but here are a few more pictures for you.
