Tips for passengers

With the weekend gap at around 22 minutes, check the timetable before you set off, especially if you have to change at the far end. Weekday trips take a little over an hour, so allow for that in any schedule. Ilford Station and Gants Hill Station are both named on the route and make useful points to change. Claybury Broadway is the far end of the route, so check the last departure before a late return from there. The stop list also names Barkingside High Street and Goodmayes Primary School on the way.
