The 19:15 to Cambridge was packed like the peak hour, most
unusually. Was there some tube disruption leading to people going
home so late? Usually that train is quite lightly loaded on Fridays
as people leave work earlier.

Probably something to do with all the services out of Liverpool St
being boll*xed because of "lineside equipment problems" rather than
anything do do with the tube...

Thanks for replying.

That may indeed have been the case. I rather doubt that numbers would
be so great at that time of night though and the 20:15 from Cambridge
to Lynn (18:58 ex-Liverpool St) was advertised as on time when I got
to Cambridge.

Things didn't seem so bad on the Peterborough route. I was on the 18:07 FCC
fast and had a bay of four seats to myself, as did the chap opposite me.
