The coach stops at the Hitchin train station, but you can't get there
from Ely without changing at Letchworth.

The xx.30 semi-fasts stop at Hitchin, but a change at Cambridge is
necessary because the Kings Cross trains from Kings Lynn are fast
Cambridge-KX.

Apart from the 10.11 and 16.06 from Ely which form the 10.30 and 16.25 from
Cambridge and call at Hitchin (and the 17.07 and later trains from Lynn
which do the same), connection times at Cambridge from Ely into the xx.30
and xx.55 are not good. That is why I suggested that taking the bus from
Cambridge railway station to Drummer Street and getting the airport coach
from Parkside would be as quick.

Looking at Transport Direct, starting *now* they recommend changing at
Cambridge for a Hitchin train then catching the 787 coach. 2hrs 6mins.

Next quickest is catching a train to Stevenage and getting the #100 bus
from there. 2hrs 22mins.

Going via St Pancras is 2hrs 44mins.
