Expanding from your poor rail services comments - between Bishops Stortford and London there are I think 8 level crossings
It is all well and good for various sites to waffle on in corporatese about Stanstead in 30 and links to crossrail but it is my belief that fast frequent trains and level crossings do not go together
I have recently spent 40 mins at Spellbrook crossing hoping to get home a couple of miles away
Does anyone think a road fairy will miraculously built flyovers to replace the level crossings? That would be interesting at Spellbrook and Sawbridgeworth! Or will they just close them permanently? God help Bishops Stortford town centre then
The rail line is in part still in the 1950's
Without major investment (paid by who?) good rail links surely will not happen
