RailFail

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.)
