London – Hertfordshire trains to double in timetable change

Great Northern is to double the number of trains running between Moorgate and Hertford North in off-peak times from December. The change will start on Monday 14th December. On weekdays and Saturdays, the improvements will run until 9 pm for trains heading to London, and 8 pm for trains heading to Hertford North. The new services will call at all stations except for Bayford and Crews Hill, which will be served by a half-hourly service between Stevenage and Moorgate. This means that the additional trains can run 3 to 4 minutes faster into London. Stations can be added at a later date should demand increase, especially with a new town planned at Crews Hill. These improvements should improve connections across North London and Hertfordshire. “We’re truly delighted to be able to double the number of trains in the off-peak, Mondays to Saturdays, on the route between Moorgate and Hertford North. “With trains arriving every 15 minutes, there will be no need to check the timetable – passengers can just ‘turn up and go’. This will encourage more people to take the train, supporting the economies of towns along the route. “Locals will find it easier to make day trips to the capital and there will be more trains for shift workers. We hope the added convenience will drive people to use what is the most sustainable form of public transport, reducing everyone’s carbon footprint.” Great Northern’s Customer Services Director Jenny Saunders
