Incidentally, Watton-At-Stone now has practically no trains to
Stevenage on Monday to Fridays. The GBNRTT gives no hint of replacement
bus times.


There's long term engineering works near Stevenage, and I think the
replacement buses run "on demand".

There are no shortage of electric trains sitting around unused that
could run an hourly shuttle from Watton to Knebworth,


Wouldn't that involve a reversal at Stevenage?

but they can't be arsed.


Or the track's not available.


Google suggests there are three trains after midnight, which suggests that
the track is present and correct.


Enough to run a full service, during the day?
