Your use of outerchange is something I do not recognise.
How did you get from Hayes & Harlington (Journey Planner does not
recognise Hayes and Harlington) to Shepherd's Bush. Which Shepherd's
Bush? I see routes via Willeden Junction/

Hayes - Ealing - Shepherd's Bush central line - Shepherd's Bush LO -
Hackney Central (an unusual direct train - i think 1840 or
thereabouts)

The Journey Planner shows Hayes & Harlington Rail Station - Ealing
Broadway Station + Take the Route Bus 607 to Acton Central Rail Station
- Hackney Central Rail Station. It takes about 20 minutes longer than
* most routes using zone 1, but will give the 1.10 charge on top of a 2/3
TravelCard.

yes, i have done that before - but the Route Bus is not very fast
through Acton and it stops on the wrong side of the park from the
station.

It's probably true that it would have been faster to go to liverpool
street and get off at hackney downs. Changing at Highbury didn't occur
to me.
