Modulo the minimum interchange time which seems to have gone AWOL
from the National Rail site, but is unlikely to be as little as 4
minutes I'd have thought.

[Although of course, these two trains used to be a guaranteed
connection, because both being run by Central they swapped crew at
Ely, so that the Norwich crew from the train bound for Cambridge
would have taken the ex-Liverpool/Sheffield train onwards to Norwich,
and the Liverpool/Sheffield train's crew would have finished their
shift with a short hop to Cambridge.]

Ely is 6 minutes in Table 17 of the GBTT which is still obtainable from
the Network Rail web site.

Thanks for that.

I wonder when these numbers disappeared from the National Rail site?

The National Rail site is a huge behemoth. Whereabouts were they?

In the end, daughter's plane landed 20 minutes early, thereby avoiding the
problem. She's on the 00:04 from King's Cross as I write.
