Just wondering.
Morning and evening rush hour

NXEC from Peterborough
FCC from St Neots

Which service is most likely to have seats and which service is less likely to be a bun fight in the evening rush hour?

    I guess nobody here regularly travels in to London from Peterborough then.

    I made the mistake once of getting on the KX to Leeds between 17.00 and 18.00 without a seat reservation. Stood up all the way to Peterborough where it half emptied. So the NXEC to Peterborough in the evening can be very busy.

    Was that a Friday or another weekday? Also, was it one of those situations where there were a lot of reserved seats but nobody actually sitting in them or were all the reserved seats occupied?

    It wasn't a Friday, I'm out of London before 14.00 on a Friday!

    Not a seat to be seen unoccupied unfortunately.
