Description
The Gospel Oak to Barking Line (GOBLIN) is offering free travel to everyone that uses it between 31st August and 1st October 2019. This is as a 'thank you' to those who were caught up in the delays whilst new trains were brought into service on the line.

I went out to make some journeys to see how it worked, and how I'd get my money back when travelling on it using an Oyster card.
