Train to Cambridge? Will this be using Abellio Greater Anglia?

If that's the case, I suggest you at least get two-three trains earlier than the last one that will get you just on time. The West Anglia route is horribly unreliable.

Take it from someone who's used it for two years straight commuting.

Yeah, there will be some days where trains just stop running full stop. Rail replacement buses are often available but dear god they're slow.

Nope. I'm a first-year at Edinburgh :smile: I used the same train line that goes from Liverpool Street to Cambridge for two years straight though :tongue:

Yeah I’ll have to get the train in as well. How far from hills are you? If I get a place it’s going to be such an early start every morning :frown:

That sounds awful!! It’s going to be such a shock to the system. My current journey to school is a 4 minute walk 😂

I’m about the same, 45 minutes ish. But I’m the most disorganised person so I’m really worried about missing the train - i think it’ll end up being a pretty regular thing :smile:
