Coaches to Cambridge

Tuesday 1st October 2019

I travelled by train when I visited Cambridge this summer. The train had nine coaches labelled A (at the front) to I (at the back). Can you figure out which coach I was in if the product of the number of coaches in front and behind me is three less than it would have been if I were three coaches closer to the back of the train?
