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

try getting on a northbound train at New Cross Gate between 8 and 930 am
any weekday,
very difficult, you may have to wait for several trains to pass before
you can get
a space.
Even in the middle of the day they are often packed....
