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

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)

ITYM "east"?

East, West, same thing

My S.O. Was stuck on the train between Stratford and Mile End, had to
walk through the tunnel to Mile End, and then (after being released
from the holding pen) got charged for a trip from Bow Road to
Liverpool Street, and had to buy a ticket to Chingford, just to get
home. Can't reall be bothered with claiming the money back, but
perhaps people evacced from trains should be given a permit to
complete their journey free of charge by any means, along with the
bottle of water?
