Also there is one too many 9's on the number for it to come from an 01607
code, so I suspect you are right, Nigel.

This is in all probability NOT a UK number.
I suspect that the call originates from (+1) area code 607.
The number that is transmitted in CLI form does NOT include 0 or 00
in front. But it has a "natioanl/international" flag elsewhere in the
protocol. So the receiving telco can prepend the appropriate code for
the "+". E.g. I call the USA it SHOULD show up as 011448703212282 but if
I call Germany they will see 00448703212282.
Unfortunately, that flag is very often not properly set, so you get the
"STD access code" in front (i.e. 0, instead of 00).
I see this all the time on inbound calls.
