Default More trains on old WAGN lines

You are joking? In the rush hour the picc is packed north of arnos
grove and frankly the service resembles a country branch line a lot of
the time with 10 min waits for trains if the service is ****ed as it is
at least once a week. The picc needs to run more trains north of arnos
grove during rush hour , not less, and in doing so would also solve the
problems of trains backing up south of arnos grove because of no free
platforms since all the trains are just sitting the with red signals
(presumably the signalman is watching Neighbours or something). The
worst it has ever been in my experience is backed up trains to Arsenal.
This might mean trains back up from cockfosters but at least it would
mean the trains get further before they get stuck and so fewer people
would be delayed.


I can honestly say that in my time there, the best I've managed is
blocking back to Hyde Park Corner. Now that's an achievement!
