4 from Kings Lynn to Cambridge. After it joined up at Cambridge the load
redistributed and was about 100% full in the rear section (rather than
about 120%).


How can something be more than 100% full?


A train is deemed full when all the seats are occupied. After that
people can stand in the aisles and vestibules, making it more than 100%
full.
