I didn’t actually look at the stops so will take that under advisement and check again - does make sense actually as when we have people go to Ipswich from work if we have a site there they go to Euston first cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tortuous journey including an hour waiting at Leeds. That's over 6 hours. Liverpool St to Ipswich is an hour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't mind a few quid in a taxi each way, the Fat Cat is an outstanding boozer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
