Re: Route Question. I am puzzled.

Unfortunately the only valid route is via Ely and Waterbeach.

The routeing points for Manea are Ely, Norwich and Peterborough.
Cambridge is a routeing point.

The fares check shows that Norwich - Cambridge and Peterborough -
Cambridge fares are higher than Manea - Cambridge, so these are not
appropriate routeing points for this journey.

The only map listed for Ely - Cambridge is WA. Map WA allows Ely -
Cambridge via Waterbeach only. So the only valid route from Manea to
Cambridge is direct to Ely, then via Waterbeach to Cambridge.

That is odd. Which site is showing that as a valid route? The NXEC
site, for example, shows only the direct trains - 0737 and 1744 from
Manea, 0558 and 1750 from Cambridge.

Curiously, there is a cheap day return at £7.80 but on Mondays to
Fridays there are no valid services allowing you to complete the
return journey.
