and the Victoria Line. So to the only alternative route to return to
Walthamstow Central is to go in via Liverpool Street and Zone 1.
You could also have used bus 69 and avoided any changes.

As a local resident, I think I know why the OP did not consider that option! Leyton High Road has been sabotaged and the journey takes forever.
What the OP's lament really proves is that the Victoria Line should be extended the two miles to Leytonstone Underground. It would make life so much better for so many people . . . . and the Olympics are coming and there is likely to be a massive shortage of public transport capacity.
