This is good news. Hopefully the journey times will also revert to pre-Covid levels. In the peaks, Harlow Town used to have 2x32 min services to LST, 2x38 and 2x40. Now it’s 4x40. I get why Covid and WFH has reduced frequencies but not how it’s slowed the trains down!

Journey times the same for now. It’s because they all now stop at Broxbourne and Cheshunt.

That's because (pre-covid) not all services stopped at HWN and SST, now the 2tph "express" service stops at all major stops along the line (BIS, HWN, TOM, with 1tph at SST)

That’s the off peak service. Also, I only (personally) care about journey times from Harlow Town to London so stops further up the line don’t make any difference to me.
