Not a good picture, but certainly an informative one:

WAGN are running trains to London via the Hertford Loop. Which is your
WAGN station?


Hatfield. From there, they are running buses all stations every thirty
minutes and a fast shuttle to Finsbury Park either hourly, or possibly
every half hour.

You'll only get that info if you go to the station though, or manage to
get hold of the leaf fall timetable that is being printed at the
moment. To confuse matters, the bus timings are totally different on
Saturday and Sunday!

Anyone who tries to check the train service on the Alexandra Palace -
WGC Inner lines will be told there are no delays/incidents but also
that there are NO trains due. This will be if you use the Wagn website,
the Journey Check service on your mobile, PDA/smartphone or any mobile
phone operator portal (linked to the National Rail WAP site). My guess
is these people won't then go to Hatfield, Potters Bar, Hadley Wood or
whatever.

The service from Hertford North is greatly reduced to accomodate the
GNER trains and other services to Peterborough and Cambridge. Thus, for
me, it's better to pay to use Thameslink from St Albans.

I was told I could use my season from Hertford North without paying
extra, but I haven't bothered to try yet. In any case, the drive to
Hertford is the same as to St Albans and then it's a slow, all station,
service compared to one stop to KX Thameslink in less than 20 minutes!

I think Wagn have really made a mess of things. They had an excuse when
the first weekend happened, as it was allegedly a week ahead of
schedule, catching them out. When are they going to update their online
timetables? This is EVERY weekend from now until December, not just a
few hours here and there!!

How clueless can they get? Bus arrives from Hatfield (taking 3/4 hour!)
at xx.01 to miss a connection to King's Cross leaving at xx:00, next one
arriving xx:33. You can leave Hatfield 14 minutes later, take a bus to
Stevenage and get to King's Cross at xx:38. Doh!

It's all on WAGN's web site though.
