I just wondered whether it was a published source, but it sounds as though it's not. Wasn't the 2006 list used to decide the trains that sardine man used to campaign against overcrowding?

I thought the most overcrowded train was one from Cambridge to Liverpool Street run by 'one.'

However, figures and stats can be twisted to show whatever you want!

These figures are listed here:

Note that it mentions the 07:26 Northampton to New Street, which is incorrect is is supposed to be the 08:01 Coventry to New Street.

This train used to regularly have to turn passengers away, although it was slightly alleviated by the previous service, stopping at Tile Hill when the timetable was changed.
