Cruisers went when FCC took over. They are Express services now and they
are quite a bit faster than alternatives.

Same service, different name. They are indeed a little faster, but
their existence has rather spoilt your perception of what's a
semi-fast train.

Uh-oh! They are if anything slower.

I meant faster than the semi-fasts.

More trains now call at Royston and/or Letchworth and end-to-end times
are almost never as quick as 45 minutes any more.

And after all that fuss in what, 2001, about chopping a minute off the
end to end time, by upgrading Cambridge-Royston.
