Didn't that get to Exeter, though?!

Yes, but only for sound operational reasons.

You couldn't sensibly operate two separate services (commuter/Inter
City) over the one route in NSE days. Maybe it could be done now?

King's Lynn then? It's part of the Cambridge service and that does include
London commuting. We don't want to be run from London though London-like
public transport rules would be an improvement.

While commuters (including part-time ones like me) go one-way, to central
London, tourists go both ways, in large numbers.
