Seriously, this weekend terminate all the trains at Ally Pally/Finsbury Park, take down the whole lot and rewire it again! This is getting silly!

We got under way from Stevenage after a delay of about 10 minutes and ran slower than normal into Kings Cross. The problem seemed to be affecting northbiund services more
