I'm on the 07.45 from Cambridge. The portion from the north was full
and standing as it left Ely

And I'm now on the 4-car approx 18.40 from Cambridge (was the 17.44
from Kings Cross).

Full and standing (about ten in each vestibule I can see) with
non-existent people travelling north from Cambridge.

The trouble is the power supply North of Milton as you should well know.
Otherwise there could be regular 8- and 12-car trains North of Cambridge.

That could be solved by running more 4-car trains, but wasn't the point
I was making, which is that Cambridge station isn't just used by people
travelling to Kings Cross, there are other busy destinations too.
