    Forgive the ignorant question, but is there an easy way to tell from these lists which trains stop at Harringay and Hornsey?

    They're an revelation. If I catch the c.8:25 in the morning peak at Harringay I can now be guaranteed to get on, which was not the case with the 313s. Such a relief when the 1725 Moorgate arrives at Highbury and Islington during the northbound peak. A train that would have been utterly...

    Seems the NCL is closed today, any idea why?

    Rear doors didn't open at Harringay on the 18:21 service (which ran a minute late) but otherwise very smooth and civilised in what is usually an impossibly packed train.

    Signal failure on the NCL and/or a broken down train and/or shortage of drivers (all three excuses have been announced) has knackered the Moorgate service. Curiously 717002 just left Finsbury Park fast to Welwyn... was it scheduled or was it deployed early on a rescue mission?

    Yeah, I checked with the tweeter and he says he now thinks it was a 700.

    Just seen 717007 at Finsbury Park heading north. Saw one around the same time last night too. Looking forward to seeing the back of the old rustbuckets currently on the line, though I suppose they've proven to be value for money. If I understood the post upthread correctly they're already in...
