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

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

I'm pretty sure they were in the "station information" (maybe in the
"ticket buying" section):

http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/stations/ELY/details.html

Which compounds the felony (for Ely, anyway) by having a splash on it
saying you should allow plenty of time, but not saying what "plenty"
means.

Not good, I agree. The splash is because they think platform changes take
longer via the subway for some reason.

I agree it's not an especially long change, even compared to things like
the Cambridge Island, especially if starting from platforms 1,2 & 3.

In practice, at Ely, a large number of changes are between platforms 2 &
3, across the island. The only trains using platform 1 are generally the
northbound through services, whereas the island gets all the southbound
through services plus the reversals PeterboroughNorwich.
