connections doesn't it!


Not as bad as they appear; it's got same-station interchanges with the
SSL at Barking; about 7min walk to the Central (Leytonstone-Leytonstone);
same station to the Victoria at Blackhorse Road; and about 5 minute to the
Northern Line (Upper Holloway - Archway).

The real probelem with it is that it's 2tph, 2 car, and appears to
be standing room only for much of the day.


THe other real problem is the lack of connections show on a map. If there
was a dotted line between the two leytonstones, with 500 yards, and the
route was fully signposted, there wouldn't be a problem.
