so they haven't got a strategy available to do anything sensible.

TfL have limited rights with respect to main line rail and can offer to
fund extra services. However if there is no capacity available to run
them it is a somewhat academic exercise surely?


I suppose being the average commuter I just see it a fairly simple
thing. I wait on a platform for ten minutes in the cold and know there
won't be another train for fifteen minutes if I miss it.

So there are large gaps in the service and lots of people either crammed
onto trains or seeking alternative routes.

Solution: run more trains !!

To be honest if I lived south of Palmers Green I wouldn't even attempt
to use the service because the trains are so crushed when they arrive at
Hornsey or Harringay.

I'm sure I remember Ken promising better transport if we had the
congestion charge, and I've yet to see any improvements.
