Last time I was there trains which run from Peterborough to Liverpool
St were not advertised beyond Colchester at Peterborough.

I've seen them advertised to Shenfield.

You could be right. I don't see one at Peterborough very often. The last
time I was there there were no such trains because of the bridge at Ely.

And I agree there won't be many people wanting "The Liverpool St
train", and pointing at a northbound DMU and asking "is that the
Liverpool train"; but if there were, then the advertised
destination of the other one isn't relevant. Indeed, failing to
advertise it to "Liverpool St" would actually make the situation
worse.

They don't advertise it to Liverpool St because any sane person (I used
to think that included you, Roland), would take the first train to King's
Cross and the tube to reach Liverpool St.
