FCC have thrown in the towel and are running a two trains an hour nearly
all stations slow service only. So, for once, journey times are faster to
and from Liverpool Street.

So I say, stuff FCC for their meanness (even with stock shortages they
could surely have found enough for an hourly fast service) and use NXEA's
cheaper fares, especially the Off Peak Travelcard.
