Service
Hadley Wood has been promised the new Great Northern Metro service of 4 trains per hour every day of the week thanks to HWRUG campaigning in GTR's consultation. However, there were serious implementation issues throughout the GTR network from May 2018 and GTR promised its stakeholders: “Once the current interim timetable is bedded in, we will look to introduce more services to complete the intended May 2018 timetable and we will keep you informed at every step along the way. Please be assured that we are doing all we can to bring this about as swiftly as possible.” A year later, in May 2019, Hadley Wood started to get most of its promised 4 tph on weekdays but with “black spots” in early mornings, late afternoons and late nights. We have been given to understand that the 4 tph service will be implemented throughout the day on weekdays from May 2020, which is already two years later than originally planned. We hope that weekend services which still languish at 2 tph will finally be increased to the promised 4 tph from December 2020. In recognition of the May 2018 debacle, in summer 2019 GTR set up a Passenger Benefit Fund.
