    Good connections and excellent flower arrangements. The shops are handy for refreshments when on the move. Note that it gets very cold in winter, especially on the exposed island platforms.

    Really overpriced food and drinks, but there's a good variety of magazines in the newsagents shop. If you have enough time, walk over to the tescos opposite to buy your food and drink.

    Impressive selection of jazz mags available in 'Locoespresso'. The coffee is also OK.

    Don't leave your bicycle outside the station, especially if you're away for a day or late at night. The cctv doesn't cover it and stuff get pinched from there all the time.

    The main station of Ely. There's a Tesco and a car park just outside. You'll probably need a car or a taxi to get into the town of Ely though.

    Don't expect any help from the front desk. Probably closed or at peak times, one window open. A masterclass in how not to run public transport.

    Don't pay the expensive prices in the shops at the station, pop across the car park to the 24hour Tesco for more choice.

    There is a waiting room but rather bleak. Toilets are grim.
