I took the ELL from Highbury this morning for the first time in about 6 months.
Even after the obligatory 7 minute wait for the train to leave it was still
only a 3rd full in the middle of the morning rush hour. Compared to last time
I used it this is virtually empty. I can only assume the poor service
frequency and slow journey times (25 mins to do the 4 miles to canada water
this morning) have put people off as they did me. What a waste of an asset.

So on the basis of a one journey sample the entire service is "poorly
patronised" and an "asset is being wasted"! Hardly a statistically
robust analysis and if anyone put forward that level of evidence as
proof against something you believed you'd tear them a new posterior
in arguing with them.

LOL. He's definitely not Spud-u-Like.

I looked up the passeger journey figures for the Overground as a whole
and they've about tripled since 2010. I couldn't see any breakdown by
line - are these figures on line do you know?

You should do stand-up.

Thats useful - given that the ELL didn't start visiting Highbury until 2011.

I haven't see a breakdown on Overground line by line for a long while.
Tends to only happen if there is an update to a TfL meeting. I expect
there may be an update to the Rail and Underground panel next year -
assuming those meetings survive the arrival of a new Mayor. One year
of TfL operation on West Anglia and the Shenfield lines should trigger
a review / assessment of what's gone on. Ditto post completion of 5
car works on most Overground routes.

Which reminds me to ask. Are all the 5th cars in service now?
