The protests stem from First Capital Connect's decision to cut their 7.03 fast service to Kings Cross , which came into effect on Monday.

Upping the ante , commuters , who have been forced to drive to Letchworth Station to catch their preferred train , filled car park spaces with their own cars leaving commuters from Letchworth nowhere to park.

One Ashwell commuter , Tim Giles said: "We sincerely apologise to Letchworth commuters for what we did but First Capital Connect have left us no choice. Many of us need to catch a fast train to London and the only way to do that now is to drive to Letchworth every day."

The protest took place on the first day of the new timetable. The 6.45 from Cambridge , which used to stop at both Ashwell and Morden and Baldock now runs straight through from Royston to Letchworth. More cuts to the fast train service are planned for 2007.
