Default Why can't the Picc terminate southbound at Wood Green?

the kings X area unfortunately. Ok , but surely that doesn't mean a

stretch has to be closed all the way from Hyde Park to Arnos Grove?
Surely it could at least run south as far as wood green and reverse in
the
siding there? That would at least cut out 50% of the unpleasent
replacement
bus service B.


A few changes to WAGN services would help - Ally Pally (a 10 minute walk
or a couple of minutes on the bus fom Wood Green) to Finsbury Park and
Kings x/Moorgate is every 10 minutes in the mornings. But the trains are
becoming increasingly packed; stopping a few fast trains there and
selected affected stations on route especially at non-peak times
(especially weekends) would help.... surely it can't be that difficult
to do?

It does seem to me that the other transport links from town to that area
are operating with no concessions to the current closures. The buses
(29, N29) which provide links to town form that area are doing their
best but it's not enough.
