Apr 2009, Sarah Brown remarked:
but you won't find that 10pm rush hour penetrating as far as Intercity
services. Most major London termini are deserted from 8pm onwards.
No they're not - e.g. King's Cross, Liverpool Street, London Bridge,
Charing Cross, Waterloo, Victoria are all far from deserted after 8pm.
Different definitions of "deserted" perhaps.
As I'm sure you're aware, there are plenty of trains leaving KX after
8pm which are standing-room only.
I'm not aware of that (are we perhaps talking about the last train on a
Friday night)?
I have no idea - I wouldn't feel safe catching that train.
See my reply to Colin - the 20:52 and 22:15 are often packed. The
22:15 in particular often does the whole "filling the concourse and
then causing a stampede when the platform is announced" thing.
