How much time does that save over running in service?
12.5 minutes.
[Moorgate to WGC: 46 minutes in service, 33.5 minutes ECS.]
What if they ran back in service, but nonstop?
I suspect the number of passengers wanting to go end-to-end contra-peak
is tiny compared with the confusion caused by having just two or three
non-stop services in an otherwise clockface timetable.
At any time of day, I am not really clear why anyone getting on at
Moorgate wants all stations
?
Why wouldn't they? A stopping train is what you want for local journeys,
which, if anything, will be more prevalent outside the peaks, when all
those long-distance commuters are safely locked up at work.
That's not my question. I am saying why is it everyone getting on at
Moorgate who wants all stations and everyone getting on at Kings Cross
wants fast or semifast?
I can't see why there couldn't be a pattern at any time of day that
included some stopping and some less-stopping from both Moorgate and
Kings Cross.
My only guess is that they'd want to combine less-stopping with longer
distance, and not have enough 313s, but that's nothing to do with
passenger demand.-
And 313s not being suitable of course.
