<p>In response to the last two replies, the “rail replacement” isn’t really viable, especially as my end destination is actually Ilford. Im merely using Wanstead park as a transfer station onto the Liverpool St to Shenfield line. As you both point out, the proposed route from tfl is a right faff and takes so much longer. I think, having spoken to tfl (who were unable to help and seemed equally stumped p et the question of compensation) that the best (although by no means the easiest) option is…</p>

I think, having spoken to tfl (who were unable to help and seemed equally stumped p et the question of compensation) that the best (although by no means the easiest) option is to keep track of all your journeys via your tfl account and claim back a refund once the line is up and running again. As things stand at the moment, that’s what I planning to do. <br/><br/></p>
<p>thanks for all your ideas though! Really helpful. </p> I travel to Barking for work.…tag:harringayonline.com,2020-02-02:844301:Comment:12160932020-02-02T13:54:32.377ZJosephinehttps://harringayonline.com/profile/JosephineHocking
<p>I travel to Barking for work. With no handy Goblin, I've tried various other routes, all long, all go through zone 1 and cost way more. I've been wondering about 41 bus to Tottenham Hale then train to Stratford, then tube to Barking. Any thoughts anyone?</p>

<p>The expected journey is for you to go to South Tottenham, then over to Seven Sisters for the Vic to Walthamstow, then onward by bus.</p>
<p>Not a massively appealing journey, especially in rush hour.</p>

<p>Emma, information from the Chair of the Barking-Gospel Oak Rail User Group (BGORUG) is:</p>
<p><em>"We've asked TfL to reinstate the previous arrangements, backdated. Reply awaited</em>."</p>
<p>The previous arrangements, using the online complaints form, are described on page 2 of this Feb 2018 newsletter:</p>
