Remember making the trip in the 80's with dear old Sealink and there would be corridor trains waiting at Parkston to whisk people to Wales or Glasgow!

Well that must be a first! Looking at the live arrivals into Norwich station right now,I can see a Cambridge train with it's departure point being Shippea Hill! The most underused station in the UK I believe! Must have been an interesting experience if passengers had to de bunk there,would take...
