Chingford line frequency

I can't remember what the Jazz service levels were however, and they
may well have included a 15-minute Saturday service mentioned above. I
do remember that the last remains of the all-night service (around
three trains in the overnight period) were finally removed sometime
around 1987-9.

The original steam-hauled "jazz service" from Chingford was (in 1929)
roughly every 10 minutes in the peaks. All were limited stop services in
various patterns, the fastest making Liverpool St in 27 minutes.
Off-peak was every 20 minutes.

Curiously, the Saturday service didn't start until 10.06 (no workmens'
trains needed in Chingford!), but was also six trains an hour until
mid-afternoon, then every 20 minutes, and then every 30 minutes after
19.37. Sunday was every 15 minutes for most of the day.

Following electrification in 1960, there were 9 peak-time departures an
hour - but, of course, the entire service was cut back once the Victoria
line opened in '68.

(Back in 1929 there was also the Chingford - North Woolwich service via
Stratford - hourly on Sundays, but very sparse on other days.)
