I took the ELL from Highbury this morning for the first time in about 6

Even after the obligatory 7 minute wait for the train to leave it was still
only a 3rd full in the middle of the morning rush hour. Compared to last time
I used it this is virtually empty. I can only assume the poor service
frequency and slow journey times (25 mins to do the 4 miles to canada water
this morning) have put people off as they did me. What a waste of an asset.

I use the ELL fairly regularly (peak and off-peak) and it's always well
patronised.

Beats me then. Perhaps I'll try it again at some point and see, but the
train I got on at around 8.30 had hardly anyone standing after waiting at
highbury for the usual time.
