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.


Really? The 2315 often has a good contingent of dinner jackets coming
back from the opera etc, and the rest are half-asleep.
