other lines via Seven Sisters should do much better if both Cheshunt
and Enfield services are lifted to x15 giving a 7-8 minutes service
south of Edmonton Green.
Annual passenger numbers at Theobalds Grove, Turkey Street and Southbury
are comparable to Roding Valley, Chigwell and Grange Hill, whereas Bush
Hill Park (surprisingly) and especially Enfield Town do a lot better.
IMO a ten minute service from Enfield Town to Liverpool Street, along
with a twenty minute service from Cheshunt to Edmonton Green and then
non-stop to Seven Sisters makes more sense, and would only use 11 trains
instead of 12. I am guessing that the single track slip from Seven
Sisters to South Tottenham can be used to reverse a train.
Hang on, wasn't the legendary "Jazz" service a ten minute frequency? So
there's a name for the line and an angle for publicity, if they go for a
ten minute service to Enfield.
