With phone thefts frequently in the news and London numbers measured in the tens of thousands pa, you may well be careful and feel prepared should the worst happen to yours. I did, until recently. My son is 25, smart[…]
A couple of incidents this week gives the opportunity to pass on police advice to a wider audience. “Nottingham Knockers”, door-to-door cold callers typically selling cleaning goods, are encountered a few times per year in my street. The first contact[…]
Meanwhile in Harry Potter World, Florida if the Palmers Green train from King’s Cross to Watton at Stone is cancelled there’s another to Cuffley in 3 minutes!
My earlier message had an incorrect link to information about the Alexandra Palace Station step-free plans. Now corrected in the earlier message. The correct link is https://alexandraparkneighbours.org.uk/forum/update-on-alexandra-palace-station-refurbishment . Thanks for Bill for pointing this out.
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[…]

I have been using the line regularly since I moved to the area in 2014 and it is a very useful route. Initially, I was commuting to work most days but since the pandemic have worked from home and use[…]
Straightforward questions, but no straightforward answers. I'll do my best to introduce Julius and other recent arrivals about the recent troubled history of our trains services, but I'm sure others will have things to add. First, my brief answers to[…]
I think it is interesting that this post doesn't say why we got to this situation of needing the survey in the first place. It is a bit of an 'elephant in the room' and understand fully why this has[…]
