I was referring to the displays that
give a list of departures: the big one in the main concourse and
the smaller ones such as the one facing the York Road entrance.
These were all using the wording First Cap Connect at about 1905
last night. (Though I wonder whether the TOC itself approved the
abbreviation).

The displays on the platforms which only show a single departure
were showing First Capital Connect.

I noticed that both the main departure displays and those at the
platform ends were showing First Cap Connect when I got the 19:45
tonight.

The arrivals board (to the right of the main departure board) also
shows First Cap Connect. Though this is still too long for the display
and collides with the text to its left.

I'd forgive FCC a lot if they could produce timetable information for
tomorrow. No trains Cambridge-London by either route. The *only*
timetable information (apart from individual trains via NRE) I can find
is a poster on the platform at Cambridge station. No leaflets, nothing
on the FCC web site beyond:

"Hitchin to Cambridge
WHERE Hitchin (HIT) to Cambridge (CBG)
WHEN 23 April 2006
DETAILS All day buses replace trains."

My brother is passing through London arriving late tonight and off early
Monday morning. I'm going to have to drive.

Oh, and Sunday is the London Marathon too. But that idiocy is Network
Rail's. :-(
