Default Closure of Liverpool Street this morning

There is also deliberate misinformation at Kings
Cross regarding the destination of certain trains. They announce
"Foxton" when the train actually goes to Cambridge. In all cases they
appear to believe that the level of misinformation is justified in the
Great Scheme Of Things.

This is done for the benefit of clueless tourists heading for Cambridge
who would otherwise catch the xx.06 to Cambridge only to be overtaken by
the non-stop xx.15. Unfortunately the same trick can't be done in the
opposite direction. Loads of Cambridge station staff are employed full
time herding tourists.
