19 minutes (includes 7 mins walking time to Arnos Grove platform)


Which explains some of the frequent delays at Arnos Grove usually
northbound but sometimes south too as a full train waits for Mr Driver
to stroll down and take over from his colleague. Why they couldn't have
made cockfosters the booking on point is anyones guess.


If the booking on point was CFS, it would cause even more problems in
that service recovery would be virtually impossible after a shutdown or
other problems. Also, a number of trains are booked to reverse at AGR
as CFS couldn't cope in the peaks.

BTW, we don't run north or south, but east to west, I assume you're
referring to the eastbound?
