Why does the north east corner suffer from a lack of customers yet the
NW, SW and SE do fine for numbers? Any ideas? Could it mean the lack of
passenger numbers further closes in the North East corner?

I suspect this refers only to the loop of the Central Line via Chigwell.
It goes through some moderately populated areas but I suspect multiple car
ownership around Chigwell is high. The low use of the tube is probably
caused by years of low service frequency, having to change trains to reach
central London and early close-downs putting people off. It will take some
time to change attitudes to public transport.

The District Line is incredibly busy until East Ham and remains reasonably
busy until Dagenham/Elm Park.




Interesting comments. Not being able to get a through train past 8pm on a
weekday is not very good for London I would say.

But with one change you can get to a dozen Central London stations, so the
service at Chigwell is comparable to the service provided at most NR
stations in London (which only have a direct service to one Central London
station).

Didn't TfL announce in December that the whole of the Central Line would be
running during full hours from November 06?

They announced it in October and implemented it in November. Services
between Hainault via Roding Valley to Woodford now operate beyond 8pm
until the rest of the Central line closes.
