If you go back to 2003 then both Grange Hill and Chigwell were lower
than Roding Valley but for some reason the Roding Valley figures have
remained constant while the other two have increased significantly.

I don't know when the evening service improved, but it would make a
lot of difference (and maybe take time for habits to change). People
who had to drive to (say) Buckhurst Hill in order to get home again
may not have to do so.

Weren't the service changes coincident with a zone change in those parts
[a couple of years ago maybe], aimed at improving passenger numbers?

Is there a danger of more stations closing on the Central line?

Only if they build Crossrail 2 - at the moment, it's slated to take over
the Hainault loop. Which, given the facts mentioned here, seems like pure
madness.

If the East London Transit plan goes ahead, i suppose there'd be a case
for converting the northernmost bit of the loop to a busway.
