Never known it so difficult to get in/out of Enfield by rail this
weekend:-

Southbury Loop/Enfield Town - Liverpool Street service bustituted
Hertford Loop (Enfield Chase) - reduced service of one train an hour
due to E.C.M.L. diversions
Cockfosters - (Enfield West, now Oakwood) Wood Green - bustituted
Stevenage - Alexandra Palace via New Barnet (another Enfield - London
rail access via 307 bus) -
Yes you have guessed it, bustituted.

Bustituted rail services all take at least double the time of the train
journey. Many passengers put of travelling or go by car adding to the
already haplessly overcrowded roads in North London.

It's Cambridge's turn later this month. Until December the King's Cross
service is diverted via Hertford, reduced to two trains an hour and
slowed down but as a special treat for half term week (and both
adjoining weekends) they are blockading the line between Shepreth Branch
Junction and Stansted so no Liverpool Street services at all.
