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?!

On that doesn't run loss-making services.

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.
