I haven't seen any maps showing Southgate east of Arnos Grove. I was
defending the reference to a train heading north, which it would be in
reality and on all diagrams.

When I worked on the Central line, Leytonstone to Epping, though as
northbound as any other route, was still described as eastbound, as was
Newbury park to Hainault.
Hey, who am I to tell someone else that orienteering by tube isn't a
good idea?


I wonder what it's called now when they continue to Woodford after
Hainault? Is is still going eastbound? I suppose it must be.

But that would mean that two consecutive trains in the same direction
at the same station could be going eastbound and westbound (starting
from Grange Hill in the peak).
