You don't seem to be taking much account of how full each train is. In
particular only the "Cruisers" have much in the way of southbound
patronage from Cambridge during the day. And half of one of those has
come from Kings Lynn and Ely.

Western Europe's largest city in "more popular destination than
Shepreth" shock.

It is, but remember there are seven or eight tph leaving Cambridge
for the south every hour, which gives a false sense of activity
because only two of them have very many passengers on (when they
leave Cambridge).

Seven. And on goes no further South than Stansted. And the slow trains
aren't that empty.
