My personal suspicion is that they've decided that Kings Lynn is just a bit
too far for the high capacity inner suburban style train they really need.

I woudd suggest maybe it has got more to do with getting as many
trains as possible through the Welwyn bottleneck.

The fast ''Cambrdge Cruisers'' - includes the current Lynns - if all
125 mph might overall yield another path - ECML is not in my ''route''
knowledge ) so I do not know the detail.

I can see that one 125 mph IEP for the Cambridge line simply following
or preceding a GN main line express does not gain a path - it merely
moves the white space - but if the Peterborigh and Lynn departures
were both 125 mph flighted around each other and class 91/HST then
there might be a gain. Could gain 2 TPH out of that alone (based on
half hourly to each of Cambridge and Peterboro)

125 mph operation of a standard NGEMU hi-density suburban fleet makes
no sense - maybe it is best to not include a route that is better off
being changed to something else for a different gain.
