1702 London Liverpool St - Norwich

[Rich McLean]

The fact is this is an extended commuter service, and the only people on it are people who literally just missed the 1700 by seconds, or people who booked a cheap fare on it. In both cases the extension of this service is an added bonus and adds an extra option on top of awaiting the 1730. The existence of this additional option isn't something to complain about in my opinion.

I have no idea why we're comparing this with London to Penzance (!!); as mentioned earlier if there was an equivalent on the Great Western it would be to a destination much closer to London!

A good example is on a Sunday, a 166 to Hereford and back (sometimes even a 165)

I think it's a good idea, especially as it allows potential cheap advances just after rush hour.
