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.
The Cambridge-Royston power supply has been upgraded twice since
electrification.
It was the track they upgraded, to increase the speed. It was closed
for a week during (iirc) August, when it was expected to have less
passengers.
Was that meant to be an attempt at contradiction or just an irrelevant
remark?
That's what I was wondering when you mentioned electrification!
