Cambridge-Birmingham on the NRE web site some time.

A quick query showed a few routes. None of them included the X5.
Putting in via Milton Keynes Central gave a load more - again not
including the X5.

The journey planner shows the quickest connection at any given time,
AIUI, so long as it is a ticketable permitted route (plus a few
exceptions to this).

Are you sure there wasn't engineering work on the day you tried the
query?

No, but recent WCML timetable changes did mess up the connections so it
may have been at a particular time when they were by chance better.
Before the timetable changes they cropped up every time.
