26 Oct 2021 our 2nd MiRaCle trip since February 2020 was a revisit to the Goblin line (Gospel Oak to Barking), this time we traversed from east to west. A convoluted set of train journeys starting out from London Fenchurch Street having made our separate ways from our homes.

1. Fenchurch St on c2c 10.34 arr Barking 10.48.

2. Barking Overground Goblin dep 11.09, Gospel Oak arr 11.44

3. Gospel Oak Overground NLL dep 11.52, Highbury & Islington arr 12.02

4. Highbury & Islington Great Northern dep 12.08, Alexandra Palace arr 12.22

Lunch at the Starting Gate around 12.45 to just before 14.45 https://www.thestartinggate.co.uk/food.

5. A circular Great Northern trip Alexandra Palace Great Northern dep 15.02, Stevenage (via Hertford North) arr 15.45 

6. Returned from Stevenage Thameslink via East Coast main line dep 16.17 St Pancras International arr 16.44

For those that didn’t do the Stevenage circular, they returned on Great Northern services back to London changing at Finsbury Park, an earlier finish.

On the trip were Roger, Patrick, Tim, Colin, Malcolm, Bob P & Jim. Interesting variety of new trains experienced on the different routes around North East London and into Hertfordshire. A good day out and the weather wasn’t too bad.
