Or even better still stop more at Alexandra Palace and Finsbury Park.
With the volume of people who normally get on at Bounds Green/Wood Green
the trans are getting pretty full, as is the 29 bus. The services
from/to that area aren't frequent enough at weekends and evenings

Eh? There's a 10 minute local service isn't there?


Every 30 mins to each of the Welwyn/Hertford branches (which makes it
every 15 as far as Ally Pally). Which is not much compared to the
18tph off-peak Piccadilly service.

And to add to the misery, the Welwyn services are bustituted this
Sunday morning, and the Hertford services for the whole day.

That is bad. Surely the planned work should be postponed because of
the Pic line problems. Before he retired, my father worked for BR Civil
Engineers department. It was not unknown for planned engineering
possessions to be postponed or cancelled because of problems elsewhere
on the network.

During weekdays there is, until the evenings which are much less
frequent as are weekends. Last Sunday trains were every 30 minutes as
the Hertford north branch was shut. The N29 is like 2am on a Friday or
Saturday night.... as early as 10:30 on weekdays
