There were regular early morning trains over that connection until the
1970s IIRC.
How early are you talking about? I was working on that line late 60s
early 70s and never saw anything other than Central line trains.

Hmm. I'd have to check my contemporary BR timetables for the 1970s claim.
There's nothing in my November 1972 Underground Guide.

My Winter 1957-8 Underground Guide shows two Sundays only trains from
Epping to Liverpool Street Eastern Region Station and return. Their times
were 5:6 and 5:36 from Epping, arriving 5:55 and 6:20, departing 6:20 and
6:56 to Epping. Neither stopped between Stratford and Liverpool Street nor
did the 6:56 stop at Leyton. The first was available in both directions to
ticket holders only.
