There's four trains an hour Letchworth-Hitchin-Stevenage without Moorgate services- yes, there was a dip in service, but it's fine now?
Yes if you’re going from those stations to and from London, but not if you’re heading to Hertford.
It’s not a high-demand journey so I can fully see that the 4tph London service is more valuable, but nonetheless it’s a disincentive for local journeys, with Letchworth, Hitchin, Stevenage and Hertford (the latter in particular) being horribly traffic congested, and the roads between Stevenage and Hertford also being poor.
In the longer term a remodelling of Letchworth (or Baldock) to provide a centre reversing siding would be worthwhile, but this would be more for King’s Cross services, I still can’t see the Hertfordshire ever going north of Stevenage again apart from ECS to Letchworth carriage sidings.
