The Boston branch of Starbucks, based at Tesco, treated shoppers who were trapped in the supermarket car park to complimentary coffees.

Manager Craig Wilkinson said: “People were stuck there, they couldn’t move anywhere. We thought a little refreshment might cheer them up.”

Tailbacks had been caused along Sleaford Road and out of Boston when a fault occurred at the level crossing at the end of West Street.
