The coronavirus pandemic has had a drastic impact on the railway since 2020. Greatly reduced passenger numbers and the DfT’s move of all train operators into Emergency Recovery Measures Agreements mean that predicting the future is even more difficult.
Hadley Wood Rail User Group (HWRUG) maintains close contact with our train operator, GTR Great Northern, on behalf of all our rail users. Read about HWRUG’s history below.
The pandemic has changed the way we travel in so many ways. You can find GTR’s latest Coronavirus Information here
If you need to travel, always check the National Rail website and travel at quieter times if you can. If you want to avoid the tube, make the easy change across the platform at Finsbury Park on to GTR’s Thameslink services via St Pancras International to reach central London and southern stations.

Hadley Wood Station is the reason for the development of Hadley Wood as a place, and the train service is still its only everyday public transport. Hadley Wood Rail User Group (HWRUG) was founded in 2015 for all who live or work here or use the station. We campaign for service and station improvements and act as a focus for communication with the train operator, Great Northern, part of Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) and other railway bodies.
We hold occasional meetings, virtually or in person, usually with guests from the railway industry. Materials from the latest meeting are available here. There is strength in numbers and new members are always welcome. Membership is free and you can download a Membership Form here and email it to hadleywoodrailusergroup@gmail.com. HWRUG is affiliated to Railfuture, the UK's leading independent voluntary organisation campaigning for better rail services. We have achieved success in all our three major campaigns to date and have been recognised nationally by no less than three Railfuture Awards in 2017: find out more about our campaigns and Railfuture awards on our Campaigns page. HWRUG also collaborated with The Gresley Society to produce a fine decorative plaque to former resident and iconic locomotive engineer Sir Nigel Gresley, designer of Flying Scotsman, which now adorns the station entrance for all to see. HWRUG’s motto - IOA - summarises Hadley Wood’s unique transport circumstances: |
