Liverpool Street Station is a busy London terminus where platforms rarely remain empty for more than a few minutes before another train filled with happy eager commuters rolls in.
However, prior to the 1960's there were direct trains from far flung places such as Lowestoft and Hunstanton. Packed holiday expresses is one description I have read.
How did all these trains manage to slot in with the plethora of local services? Steam hauled services of the 1950's and early 1960's logically took rather longer to reverse than today's push and pull electric tin cans.
