I asked Dave Cockle from the Enfield Society, who's something of an expert on public transport in the borough, if he had any news. He didn't, though he thinks that the station will be made step-free eventually. He did think[…]

It is extraordinary how far they got with the planning before realising it wasn't possible. It is the same situation with Winchmore Hill Station and several more stations further up the line but they haven't wasted any resources on proposals[…]

Agree, minimum 3 per hour off-peak, ideally back to pre-Covid's 4, and a dream result of the once-claimed objective of 6. Separately, I remain baffled by TfL's refusal to include our train line, and several equivalents, on their transport in[…]
