Cheaper too given BHR is in Zone 3 rather than Zone 4 as Redbridge is.

Good point.

The worst part IS the bottom of the M11, where it narrows over the Crooked

Charlie Brown's Roundabout is under the A406/M11 junction.

I generally either use Ely station (£3 a day parking nearby) or drive
down
to Redbridge or Blackhorse Road and Tube in from there.

Blackhorse road seems an odd choice. Surely driving all the way into
walthamstow negates any time saving benefits of getting the tube , not
to
mention lack of parking?

I can time a road journey from home to keep going at a sensible speed down
the M11 and round the North Circ to Blackhorse Road, arriving at about
9.15-9.30.

I've never had a problem parking there at that time.

In that case I might mention it to my relatives. Perhaps they can try it
instead of redbridge.

Depends where they are coming from, of course, but it works for me.

Good point.

AND quicker to the centre of town too.

Currently a full-length train is used which runs through Hainault and
terminating at Woodford, using the reversing siding (No. 21 Road) south of
the station. Sometimes the Live Departure Boards show a train as 'At road
21'. There are a couple of trains in each peak which start from Hainault
Depot, come into passenger service at Grange Hill, and run through to
Central London via Woodford. There are no corresponding journeys in the
other direction, and these are the only through trains between the Hainault
Loop and Leytonstone via Woodford.

London Underground have announced that the Central Line loop between
Woodford and Hainault will be closed for repairs/servicing/upgrading
between 24th of October and 4th of November.

I only noticed the posters this evening. There seem to be some more
convoluted closures on the loop but I didn't have time to check the details.

Anyone now if there will be rail replacement buses laid on?
