It's amazing how high people's expectations of train service has become these days . . .
Was at Northolt yesterday, an eastbound train has just departed, and the next train was shown as 10 minutes away. OK, this is more than the scheduled off peak service on that branch (6 - 7 mins), but of course, this prompted various "tuts" and sighs.
I was thinking about what off peak services were like a few years ago. 10 minutes would have been a bonus! It wasn't that long ago that Epping had a 20 minute inter-peak frequency on Monday to Friday!
