What about Central Line to Shepherd's Bush, then LO to Imperial Wharf?
It should be about ten minutes quicker, though as it passes through
Zone 1, may be more expensive.

Thanks I may try that one next time I go.

It also occurs to me that you should change to the Central Line at
Liverpool St, not Stratford. That will be quicker, and will also mean
you're not restricted to an AGA train that stops at Stratford.

If I was aboard a Liverpool Street train stopping at Stratford and my
main concern was time, I would change at Stratford. The main line
service is surprisingly slow between those two stations. I've just
looked at a TfL rail service from Stratford, timed at 9 minutes.
The Underground also shows 9 minutes on the Journey Planner.

The TfL Rail services are much slower than direct Norwich services,
which are unlikely to stop at Stratford anyway.


In the reverse direction, I would always start at Liverpool Street, as I
find locating national rail platforms more challenging at Stratford.

YMMV.
