I've asked WAGN the same question about stopping more services at
Finsbury Park.

Or even better still stop more at Alexandra Palace and Finsbury
Park. With the volume of people who normally get on at Bounds
Green/Wood Green the trans are getting pretty full, as is the 29
bus. The services from/to that area aren't frequent enough at
weekends and evenings

Eh? There's a 10 minute local service isn't there?

Every 30 mins to each of the Welwyn/Hertford branches (which makes it
every 15 as far as Ally Pally). Which is not much compared to the
18tph off-peak Piccadilly service.

Eh? It's every 10 minutes at Hornsey when I go there.

When I caught the train the other day from Old Street to New Southgate
(the train was bound for Welwyn GC), it stopped at Hornsey and
Harringay, but skipped Ally Pally - the service pattern isn't quite as
simple as it seems.

You must have caught the 17:37 or 18:07 from Old St then. They're the only
down trains that call at Haringey and Hornsey and skip Alexandra Palace.
They are followed by the 17:42 and 18:12 that skip Haringey and Hornsey
and call at Alexandra Palace. At least that's what Table 24 in front of me
says.
