ObUTL: Looking again at this map: the GOBLin has really poor
connections doesn't it!


It's got a lot of 'near misses', though:
Upper Holloway - Archway


Crouch Hill - Finsbury Park

Harringay Green Lanes - Harringay


Also Manor House

South Tottenham - Seven Sisters



It's a disgrace that both the Goblin and the North London have so many
non-interchanges after 50 years of nationalised railways. There's not
much sign of Ken improving things either.

Of course, if they had usable interchanges, they'd need frequent and
longer trains to carry the passengers they'd divert from overloaded tube
trains.

The problem with this is that the Goblin is earmarked as a freight route
rather than a passenger one, and in order to increase passenger service
frequency on the North London Line, the Goblin will have to take more
freight - condemning it to an ever-poor passenger service.
