Drayton Park serves Arsenal FC fairly well.

Although it's being closed on match days isn't terribly helpful.

Well, as it stands the station has to be closed because people would
end up falling on the track. I thought Arsenal were going to pay to
upgrade the station but I was either totally wrong, or they managed to
wriggle out of it.

So, not sure who gets the blame - but the fact is Drayton Park will
always be closed on match days/nights.

What would be nice is FCC starting to run 8 car trains on off-peak
trains if Arsenal is playing at home - or extra services using 313s
between Stevenage and Finsbury Park (where the bulk of the fans board
and alight).

FCC DO run extra trains when Arsenal play at home. Being the numbskulls
that they are, they don't advertise them in advance, though.

So, last Saturday, for example following the 13:03 from Winchmore Hill
was a 13:08 to Finsbury Park excl. Hornsey & Harringay. Same at 13:38.

The 13:08 was a six car train and empty.

It wouldn't be that hard for them to put posters up a week in advance
(or mention their existence on their web site, you'd have thought).
