Can't we have some co-ordination?!
Just got the inter city back from Leeds on Monday - cold miserable evening etc.. Got off at Stevenage to get the train back to Hertford...which left 10 seconds after the inter city train got in - driver quite aware I'm sure that lots of us were attempting the sprint accross the bridge.
Next train back to Hertford half an hour later...[:(!]

I experienced this scenario a couple of times earlier in the year, once also returning from Leeds & in similar weather. It is totally bizarre time-tabling to have the trains missing each other by 1 or 2 minutes, & I was amazed that there's only one train an hour from Hertford to Stevenage.

I've had occasion to come back from York via Stevenage a few times on a Sunday. You usually have between 15 mins. and 30mins. for the connection. I have never once made the connection! Depressingly, it is just as quick to wait an hour for the next one than it would be to continue into London and come out again!

Annoyingly the 1 hour wait is about the same as the journey time on GNER[:(!].
