Tonight it turns out that there is exactly one train from Cambridge to anywhere in London between 1030pm at 5 tomorrow morning. What sort of an excuse for a rail service is this?!
Yes, but that's going the other way ... the assumption is always that one is fleeing the metropolis for home.
It is practically impossible to get to London from Folkestone after 10 p.m., because why would you want to? (And after 9 p.m. on Sundays, when no one is travelling home from a weekend at the coast.)
There would be remarkably little demand for travel into London arriving in the middle of the night.
The cost of providing train, driver, depot staff to service the train, etc, would far outweigh any possible revenue - thus increasing fares everywhere else to subsidise it.
