Harringay Green Lanes – Gospel Oak additional rush hour service

The Barking to Gospel Oak User Group advises that an additional unadvertised service is departing from Woodgrange Park at 07.59, calling at Harringay Green Lanes (08.21), Crouch Hill (08.24) and terminating at Upper Holloway at 08.26.

The User Group has been leafleting passengers but are concerned that many commuters are still unaware of this train as it is not in the timetable, and has seats to spare, while all the other westbound morning peak trains remain heavily overcrowded.

London Overground has confirmed that the train is on trial and that funding from Transport for London would be required for the train to continue. They declined to confirm that it will run beyond the new winter timetable which starts on 11 December.

The User Group is calling on commuters to make use of this service to ease overcrowding on other morning services, and hopefully lessen the likelihood of its withdrawal.
