Back to 3*365 this morning, so yesterday must have been a one off. There were no more people standing on the service yesterday than there usually are after Stevenage, but then I always sit in the second to last car.... Well I would be happy with the service to move to a 12 car 700, as that...

the 7:33 fast Huntingdon to Kings Cross turned up as a 12 car 387 this morning for the first time, has nearly always been a 12 car 365 in the 2 years I have been commuting on the service. Only the 2nd time I have been in a 387, it didn't appear to be any more crowded than the usual 365's, and...
