A friend uses that line into Liverpool street and says it's far less
accident prone that mine as well as a better service. I've been thinking
of actually heading the wrong way up to Enfield Town in the morning to
catch it.

I'll probably try that route a few times in January and see how it goes.

Well you've got more chance of getting a seat if you board at Enfield
Town, certainly, though you "only" get 4tph from there, the other 2tph
come down from Cheshunt, with the full 6tph running between Edmonton
Green and Liverpool Street.

And Liverpool Street is just a short walk from Moorgate.

Having said that, Enfield Town is in Zone 5. If you want a Zone 4
station, you need Edmonton Green or Silver Street.

Checking fares just now, a point to point season from Palmers Green to
London is currently £956 a year, compared with £1264 for a 1 to 4
Travelcard. From Edmonton Green, it's £920 a year.

You could also get an Enfield Stations [1] to London point to point for
£992 a year, which would then be valid by either route, and at all
intermediate stations on both.

Cheers,

Barry
