Default Great Northern inner surburban services - London travelwatch reponse to RUS

"on the Moorgate Welwyn Garden City / Hertford North routes contra peak
services (i.e. northbound until 0900 and southbound after 1600) are
only 2 tph."

Christ! How the hell does that work? Do most of the trains run ECS back
up north?

The peak arrivals run ECS back up to the northern termini to provide
another with-flow service.

How much time does that save over running in service?

12.5 minutes.

[Moorgate to WGC: 46 minutes in service, 33.5 minutes ECS.]
