    Cancellations on the Hertford North Line 14/11/2023

    Tonight's cancellations are :- The reason given is:- https://www.nationalrail.co.uk/service-disruptions/moorgate-20231114/ I don't imagine that I am the only one to find this incredulous - the folk expecting to be able to board these trains will doubtless think likewise.

    Why is new stock, such as the GN class 717, not fitted with 2 power sockets per 2 seats?
