I have been catching peak trains between Cambridge and Liverpool
Street about two or three times a week for the past seven years. They
all stop at Broxbourne. Since I always get a seat at Cambridge I tend
not to pay too much attention to how crowded they get in the morning,
but my general impression is that although it is almost certain you
would need to stand from Broxbourne, the trains are not "heaving" and
only have a few people standing per carriage. A lot of people get off
at Tottenham Hale, so you may be able to get a seat from there to
Liverpool Street (which is about half the journey time).

Paul - thanks for the feedback - good to hear from someone who actually
uses that line. I hadn't realised that half the journey was the section
post-Tottenham Hale, so that would make things more bearable (I currently
have generally a 20-minute stand with my current commute).

What time are you typically getting on at Cambridge?

Many thanks,
Richard
