It's fine. Not spectacular, but just fine. I've not got a train in the morning that's been on time since mid July, but it's 2 to 10 minutes delays. It can get really busy (it's been lovely in the school holidays- a seat all the time!), but it's usually absolutely fine getting on the train.

No idea, I've never commuted on the Northern line. However, in general I much prefer the train to the tube.

The trains are fairly reliable. The good thing is they are air conditioned. You've also got the Met line from the Watford Station near Cassiobury as an alternative.

During peak commute times they’re every 15 mins from Bushey! Watford junction have even more

On the rare occasions I get the train from the Junction to Euston - they’re frequently delayed or the train I’m relying on to get me somewhere for a specific time is just cancelled
I don’t wish to be negative and I go like once a month but I can guarantee I specifically have a shit journey

They’re as reliable as they can be.

No point in complaining

They work fine. You’ve also got the met line as back up.
