Apparently from Dec you cannot get on a train from Stevenage to travel to KX or visa versa .Assume may not affect our away day travels too much as can still gets on north bound trains but have no idea why being brought in as can't see any current issues .

The lost revenue doesn't seem worth it for saving 30-60 seconds of journey time for the UK taxpayer-owned company.

Can understand if they don't want to sell seat reservations between Stevenage and King's Cross though.

The traini stops anyway .Takes me one second to get on or off plus others with luggage on whole journey getting on and off so no lost time.

Lumo do this already. Was on a train from London to Scotland few months ago and they announced that people weren’t allowed to get off Stevenage. Thought it was strange.

Ironically Lumo are our U18 training kit partners whilst they stop at Stevenage station it is impossible to get a train from Stevenage to Kings Cross or visa versa with them.

This seems a bit mad outside peak times as when I've used one at the weekend during the day and it wasn't a five coach one there's always bags of space.

Stevenage trains will still go to Finsbury Park and St Pancras so your connectivity to the underground etc. will be unchanged.

And as Sev says, other TOCs will surely still run into King's X.

Glad you don't have to use TL Or Great Northern on a regular basis as your view might change LNER is a current good back up option

Probably not a massive deal as can still use Thameslink and Great Northern.
