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

There is some variation in stopping pattern north of Finsbury Park
during the peaks at least: some trains skipping Harringay and Hornsey
and a few running non-stop between Finsbury Park and Palmers Green.
Still, I can see that longer non-stop runs would be confusing,
especially as at present all trains stop at all stations along the
Northern City Line.


I know this is mainly about the currenty 313 stopping services, but
there's a provisional timetable on the FCC site that is showing how
the semi-fast inner/outer services may look from May 2008 or December
2008 (definitely the latter, possibly the former). One improvement at
peak times is the increase in 12-car formations.

This will rely on FCC securing and refreshing the four or five 321s
they intend to get.

Also, the TL side will be getting nearly 30 Class 377s to improve
their services, which could also happen by December 2008 (just as
they'll have got ALL of the remaining 319s from Southern!). Expect
some changes on that side too.
