That line has the second most overcrowded train in the country (7.18

I can't remember what, but there was something wrong with that
'statistic'. Train was only four cars that dfay, or something.

Trains from Cambridge are just about full by Broxbourne during the
meorning peak. Of course, getting a seat on the way home requires
turning up a few minutes before departure.

But I would imagine that trains from Hertford East have space, and
there are some peak hour services that start at Broxbourne.

In general trains from Stansted Airport (there's no second bloody A in
Stansted!) do not stop at Broxbourne other than the Stratford service.
