One of Ken's proposals as Mayor was to extend the Victoria line from Seven Sisters to Northumberland Park (which already exists for empty Vic line trains going to the depot there).
This would go a long way to sorting out the bottleneck at WHL station after matches. Problem is National Rail want to use the space a passenger station would use for installing extra tracks for its own services..
When we get the NDP private funding sorted and construction under way, lobbying for the tube extension should be our next aim, as imo with the tube station at Northumberland Park we can realistically look (in the long term) to expand the capcity at the NDP into 65/70,000 odd..

More chance of getting platform 3 at Northumberland Park (minimal compulsory purchase of part of the back of an industrial unit to add to the space in between that and the current southbound line) .

I've had the misfortune of getting the train from Liverpool street once before. It was massively delayed more crammed than the tube and caused us to miss the first 15 mins of the match. I was mega peessed owf I tell thee. Never again!
So yeh I can see how this hub needs to be improved!

From day 1 of NDP I have always thought that 56k was far too low, we should be looking around 65k, not sure how much that would add to costs though.

I usually get the Stratford - Tott Hale - Northumberland Pk train which goes on to Stansted.
Its the perfect connection if coming from East London or The Docklands as it only takes 15m from Stratford, but it simply does not run at decent times. Trains either arrive way in advance of ko or leave you 2 minutes to get to the stadium...same for departures.
For example tonight trains arrive at 6:00, 6:30 and 7:00 but then the next one arrives at 7:43 then another at 7:45....no bloody use at all for a 745pm ko. To get the 7:00 arrival on a work night I have to leave home at 600, which requires me leaving work early which I cannot do.
Last time i drove, I parked in an industrial estate near N'humberland Park and got towed away £255 fine currently appealing the money pinching s

The reason it went down to 56000 was to have astand behind the goal that was just one tier, which would be amazing
rather that than 65000 that we would struggle to fill for some games

That would have to change.
TBH the train operator itself needs a good kicking.
What they did in 2010 for the CL games on the WHL line was absolutely f---ing disgraceful.

All the train operators do is provide longer trains.....they don;t change their timetable to suit the games....its so annoying.
Trying to get home after a sunday 4pm game is a nightmare for me....its only 6 miles across the capital of this country and it takes makes a train a tube and a bus in 75 minutes or I have to leave ealy to get the train to stratford & onto the central line.
Don;t even get me started about engineering works

I know.
They also try to run with the minimal amount of rolling stock too.
IMHO if the passenger numbers dictate it, the govt should be able to force match day timetables.
AFAIK the operator on the Finsbury Park line runs a different timetable to normal saturdays, when the G00ns are playing.
