But I would imagine that trains from Hertford East have space, and
there are some peak hour services that start at Broxbourne.

I presume you mean "have space" as in "have seats"? Standing space is
all very well, but not for 35 minutes every day - maybe I've led a
charmed commuter life so far.

Regarding the peak hour services, checking the Hertford East to
Broxbourne timetable, there are trains that "appear" to start at
Broxbourne:

For example at 0804, 0818 and 0835 - but checking other timetables,
these appear to start at Kings Lynn, Cambridge and Cambridge again,
respectively, so I can't seem to find these mystery ones that start at
Broxbourne (that would be like gold dust for a commute!!)

In general trains from Stansted Airport do not stop at Broxbourne
other than the Stratford service.

Good point, I'd not noticed this, thanks.

gives the full picture (the url will wrap and need sticking back together
again).

The only Broxbourne starters in the current timetable go to Stratford.

Incidentally the Stansted express has a long tradition of making extra
stops in the peaks - though I hadn't realized just how many extra stops the
07.00 and 07.30 from Stansted had gained!
