As a regular user of the H&C, I’ve noticed that H&C trains are almost always stopping along the way.
At Aldgate Junction (probably waiting for the Junction to clear)
On the platform at Liverpool St, often to regulate the service.
Then again at Euston Square, Edgware Road and Paddington.
This creates a view to passengers that this an unreliable line and should be avoided when possible.
I recently took the H&C from the east to Kings Cross, and I resisted my gut feeling to jump on the Central at Mile End and then regretted it with a five minute platform wait in Liverpool St to regulate the service…
I understand this is done partly because there is a lot of slack integrated in the H&C timetable so trains often arrive early and have to wait to “regulate the service” or whatever.
Is this ever going to be fixed? Maybe when the increased frequency materializes now that the resignalling has covered the whole line?
