Surprisingly I find it worse during August. I think this is because of
the number of families on a day trip to London for who the obvious
'home time' is the evening rush, but this maybe because I'm on the
shorter range trains.


There's some of that on the way home, but not on the ones I use
(mainly 1824 from Euston, but sometimes the 1823 if I've gone from
MKC).

On the way out, currently there are seats spare even after Watford on
the 0711 from Bletchley, when normally there will be one or two
standing per coach from Leighton.
