LETTER : No-stop train One-way line
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.I AM NOT surprised at North London Railways' attempt to run its Gospel Oak to Barking line slightly less inefficiently by missing out all the station stops ("True stories from the Great Railway Disaster", 9 July). This is after all the line with an evening service reduced to customer-unfriendly hourly intervals, on which nobody collects any fares and whose last eastbound train leaves before 10pm so it can get back to the depot (never mind that people might need to travel after that time). Having thus driven away most of the evening service's potential users and not collected money from those who do use it, the company then refuses to improve it on the grounds that it doesn't bring in sufficient revenue.
