Even after the obligatory 7 minute wait for the train to leave


They always start counting down from 7 mins when they see you coming.


I was being kind. 7 minutes is the official gap. When I got it regularly it
was often somewhat longer.


The ELL interval from Highbury is 7/8 minutes and it runs to a timetable.

As for passenger numbers, there's no pleasing you as you're moaning
about getting on an uncrowded train. They do get very crowded though -
passenger numbers for the whole Overground have nearly tripled since
2010.
