Their [FCC's] flying start is to scrap the refreshment trolleys
on the Cruisers. Cost-free to the TOC they were, too. Hardly in
line with their policy of encouraging off-peak travel.
They also seem to have scrapped the phrase "Cambridge Cruiser" in
favour of the phrase "Cambridge Express", according to the new
pocket timetable. Sensibly the description doesn't seem to be
restricted to the non-stop services but to all the fast trains
that Cambridge people would want to use.
Only if you go by the title of the pocket timetable leaflet. I
don't think the WAGN predecessor used the Cruiser name either. I
have to say WAGN seem not to have used the Cruiser branding much
recently anyway.
The departure boards at Kings Cross used the term. I've not been
up to London (down from Cambridge) since FCC took over.
Indeed I saw the term Cambridge Cruiser on the departure board at KX
this morning.
And I saw "FirstCapitalConnect" on them this evening. It only just fits,
hard up against "On Time" with no space.
