North Greenwich and the naming of stations (was London Terminals and Thameslink)
In message , at 22:26:02 on Mon, 10 Jul
2006, Peter Masson remarked:
Confusion between Liverpool Street and Liverpool Lime Street (e.g. from
Cambridge, or even from Euston) could alos have significant (and in the
recounting, hilarious) consequences.
The direct trains from Cambridge to Liverpool Lime St (one of which I
think departed at the same time as a train to London Liverpool St) do
not run any more.
The through trains to Liverpool now operate from Norwich, and the
Stansted/Cambridge trains operate to Birmingham.
However, 'one' has introduced a few through trains a day between
Peterborough and Liverpool St (via Ipswich), so you there's a possible
confusion between those and the Norwich-Liverpool trains between
Peterborough and Ely.
However, when the Central franchise is split up soon, the
Nottingham-Liverpool section of the route is likely to be hived off to a
different operator, so that leaves just a few Kings Lynn-Liverpool St
and Peterborough-Liverpool St trains interesting at Ely.
