Default Central Line Train Off The Road

Not for those stuck on the train.

As usual when the line is closed from Liverpool St to Leytonstone,
those out west are abandoned. In the last few months there have been 2
or 3 suspensions in this part of the line, plus engineering works. A
crossover to allow trains from the west to run to/from Stratford (even
if it's only half the trains, the others reversing at Leytonstone)
would allow people out west to connect to mainline, Jubilee and DLR
services.

Instead you're left to your own devices to get scummy busses to
Walthamstow or Chingford (at least on the Epping branch)
