Casually picked up NXEA timetable at Ely station, although fully intended to check train times online when I got home. The leaflet shows only NXEA trains between the two destinations, and probably for commercial reasons ignores XC & EM trains that also run in between these points. I fully understand these reasons, but for the casual traveller, thinking of making this journey and believing trains run only every two hours or so, their decision may be to drive instead.
Surely, all the TOCs could end up as losers.

I am looking at timetable 14, but I am pleased there is an alternative.

This does irritate me when I'm travelling away from home. My local Northern timetable shows all services, but in other areas, you simply can't get timetables showing all services! A good example is the East Coast Mainline north of Doncaster - 5 TOCs, but no universal timetable (apart from the NR timetables, but you can't just pick these up easily at the station).
