About to scratch Dovercourt after a very pleasant seafront stroll from Harwich

 

[Kite159]

Was in London for an afternoon work related meeting (although once more the travel ticket booker at work still thinks there are evening peak restrictions out of Waterloo and got me an Anytime Day Return priced at a rather nice ~ £72), afterwards I headed to Greater Anglia Land and managed to visit:

6/5

Enfield Lock
Angel Road (seriously what a dump!)
Waltham Cross
Northumberland Park
Ponders End
Brimsdown
Theobalds Grove

That be the central Lea Valley line cleared, plus Theobalds which is in zone 7, so clearing that allows for a Sunday trip on a standard 1-6 card

Don't know why PBO - ELY would count under XC - other than March, the others get a nearly 4 times as many LE services as XC
