Do most trains now run London-Leytonstone-Newbury
Park-Hainhalt-Woodford-Leytonstone-London non stop? It's a long
trip from Roding Valley or Chigwell via Hainhalt, and change at
Woodford means no seat at the busiest times, as well as adding 5 or 6
minutes to the trip.

None are advertised on the indicators in central London and stations as
far as Stratford.

From recollection, some of the early tube maps featuring the eastern
extension (including some before it opened) always showed Hainault as a
back to back terminus but showed only a through route at Woodford. Would
it be too chaotic to run three roues from Leytonstone - to Epping, to
Woodford via Hainault and Hainault via Woodford, thus providing through
services to all routes for everyone, but without turning trains round?
(Okay South Woodfordians would have to change, but Snaresbrook is within
walking distance of Wanstead down a very pleasant high street.)


Does this signal the beginning of the end for Roding Valley?
