Default New evening ticket restrictions from King's Cross to Cambridge

It seems a bit of a draconian restriction set for a surburban operator
- the FGW rule where cheap tickets can only be used on slow trains
(effectively also the case on the WCML with the Virgin/Silverlink
split) is more reasonable.

I see the BBC have a story about it -

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/5052494.stm

As usual, it starts with the word 'commuter', which in the BBC seems to be
synonymous with 'passenger' or 'traveller'. The TOC would no doubt argue
that CDRs are not intended for regular commuter use.
