Is the 19.04 the first 4-car train of the evening? If so it seems
likely that that's more of a contributory factor to overcrowding than
any issue over fares.


I believe it is, yes (the 1834 is 8-car).

I do find it slightly hard to believe that are hordes of people
milling about on the Euston concourse, waiting for the first post-7pm
cheap train to take them home.


As, to be fair, do I, though people do wait (like I do sometimes) for
the first VT to MKC, not on the grounds of cost but on the grounds of
speed/comfort.
