Also, any ideas why Roding Valley was built northeast of Woodford

Many using Roding valley will live a similar distance to Buckhurst Hill
or Woodford, it's a 15 minute walk from Roding valley to either station,
and the houses follow the rail ribbon.

Right. None of which would be much different if the station was 300 metres
further south, where it could get more trains. Or is the point that there
isn't the need for that many trains, so putting it north of the junction
avoided forcing Epping trains to either stop or get stuck behind stopping
loop trains?
