Booked through Qjump a train from Cambridge to Stansted on Monday 5th May at
1808hrs to arrive at 1835hrs with WAGN.

Tried to find the relevant timetable but this train doesn't seem to exist!

It is a bank holiday so perhaps a different service is running on this day.

Anyone got any info....please

http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/ is confident that this train exists...

So why don't WAGN have it on their timetable?

Could be that it's run by Central Trains not WAGN

Give in. Why?

Because Central Trains run hourly through trains from Birmingham via
Cambridge to Stansted, while most other trains are local services operated
by WAGN.

Qjump and another both say it's run by WAGN!

I live 200 metres from Cambridge station. WAGN do not operate any services
from Cambridge to Stansted, other than in odd situations (e.g. engineering
works).

Central Trains run services from Cambridge to Stansted, but they're not what
you'd call hugely reliable - often the trains have come a long way and they
can sometimes terminate them early at Cambridge rather than carrying on to
Stansted, to save time.

You can do it by WAGN, but only if you catch the Cambridge->London Liverpool
Street train and change at Bishops Stortford, where you can pick up a
Stansted train.

Clive Feather kindly checked this out, and as Mark guessed, the explanation
turns out to be:

In fact some other sections of route are closed for track work, and this
service, not normally operated by WAGN, is being operated instead. See
. Trains leave Cambridge at
8 and 34 minutes past the hour from 06:34 to 23:08 that day.

Thanks for that.

I rang up Qjump and they told me the train is probably a local service but
it would be better to catch a different routed train.

They weren't really sure it was running!

To repeat my earlier posting for the sake of clarity, this *is* one of
those situations.
