Your point is the one I was trying to make yesterday, although in hindsight not as succinctly as you have put it. Apologies to anyone who I offended.

Granted but there is still the mystery of how you can have a "passenger taken ill on a train" situation when it's stated as a spinal injury. Spinal injuries are caused by an accident, it's unlike a heart attack or aneurism. So was it a fall in the train? If so why the mystery?

That's quite understandable and I am not suggesting that anyone without a paramedic qualification would be responsible. However for a station the size of STP and KGX next door are both relying on emergency first aiders rather than FULL TIME paramedics? In that case it's always going to be a 999...

Did the passenger fall within the train or on the platform? Or did they fall at all? There will be have been circa 100,000 people severely disrupted last night and I think some explanation is due for those who missed flights and connections at STP. For 24TPH to work then for the core stations...

Due to passenger being taken ill with a 'spinal' injury whilst ON a train at STP? 90 minutes Block for the core and chaos ensuses. One wonders what on earth went on here....

It's starting to make sense. We all need to work at weekends then to get a seat. Rees-Mogg and cronies mission to repeal EU employment laws joined at the hip with GTR planning. Less requirement for peak weekday travel and make it a seven day working week. Simple.

But why do you think the slower services will be launched in May 18 when the original Core services have been 'paused'. There is no need to implement the other 5/8 Core paths until the full service can run.

So if that is the case and is 3/8 there is no need to change the GN timetable and impact WGC etc. They keep what they have and they run same speed and calling pattern to KGX. Are you suggesting that until 8/8 are running then southern GN has to have a drastically reduced service? Why would the...

You haven't answered my above question about connections for the users of the southern end of GN. Do you happen to know the frequency of the through Core stoppers at Finbury Park.

I know Finsbury Park isn't ideal but if there was a regular Core service to align with the semi-fasts the outcome for those travelling to KGX and beyond might not be too different.

The 7.52 connects to a Core service at Finsbury Park in May? Same platform at Finsbury Park or too early to say? If it did connect and your destination was Farringdon then the net travel time might be the same or less than connecting at St Pancras? In this scenario WGC loses the non stop fast...

How does WGC differ to Hatfield? WGC has no fast platforms, Hatfield has the down. So let's say you are. 7.55 WGC to KGX customer what does the draft timetable suggest your route and journey is is post May 18?

Is the key WGC concern the loss of the fasts to Finsbury Park?

Nothing is hence confirmed and you can imagine GN are fully aware of the loading south of Welwyn North and the timetable planners are trying to ensure that they don't provide a worse service that at present. The speculation is about draft timetables that are now removed so it's probably unfair...

Why is there is no incentive for southern GN but there is(?) for those stations to the north of the route?

Again why is this? Why do the 'southern' GN stations have to tollerate this difference to those further afield? There is more stock arriving and running four cars trains isn't a path issue it's an idealism that has blighted us for years.

What are the stats for morning peak travel to London from stations north of Cambridge? Can you compare/contrast that to the numbers travelling south from other stations?

GN from Hertford or WGC into Moorgate on a 313 is awful on most days but as stated previously the Finsbury Park to Moorgate branch is particularly dire. Full and standing, no ventilation and then 10 minutes to get out of the station if you are located in the country end. Have TL actually...

Two problems on the GN route. 1. Balancing the long distance commuters from North Cambs with those in Herts. It doesn't work, Peterborough is too far away and those living in Stevenage and south of Stevenage suffer to allow those who chose to live so far away (as many have done) a better non...

Can anyone explain why an operator be allowed to provide a worse service with less seats? What are they trying to achieve? Combine this with the oh so subtle 20/20 branding and this all looks like it's a stitch up. Less seats, reduction of the original planned through trains and lack of...
