Overground down again

One train every 3 to 5 minutes (in reality, never mind the timetable) is hardly at victoria line levels. The other difficulty will be the ripple effect if Overground trains are forced to sit still on shared sections of track thereby buggering up Southern and South Eastern services into London Bridge / Victoria / Blackfriars. Services into London Bridge are regularly a complete disaster and that has transferred vast numbers on to London Overground and Jubilee Line services. Was a stupid idea to extend onto NR tracks anyway as it means the overground timetable is frequently up the bloody spout. One of the reasons I gave up using it along with the nonsensical reversing of 2 out of 3 trains at Dalston so providing a **** poor service to Highbury where 80% of northbound passangers actually want to go. -- Spud |
