Service
Hadley Wood has been promised the new Great Northern Metro service of 4 trains per hour every day of the week thanks to RUG campaigning in GTR's consultation. However, there were serious implementation issues throughout the GTR network from May 2018 and a new Interim Timetable was introduced on 15th July 2018. On 20th July GTR wrote this to 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.” There have since been two biannual timetable reviews but no further progress since December 2018 towards the reliable delivery of that daily full metro service. In recognition of the May 2018 debacle, in summer 2019 GTR set up a Passenger Benefit Fund.
