More trains to service Hertford East line

The Issue

There are currently two trains from Hertford East to London Liverpool Street per hour during the busy morning rush from 7.00 - 9.00 am. It has got to the point that getting on at Ware, one stop from where the train begins, it’s unlikely that a passenger will get a seat and could be standing for the full 50 minute journey every day. If the train before yours is cancelled, which is it regularly, chaos ensues. Passenger numbers have increased, ticket prices have increased, Abellio Greater Anglia must respond with increasing the number of trains. This situation is not sustainable.
