Does that assume an Amersham start? If he's starting at Epping, say, I think it might be 20 minutes later as the 05:49 seems like the first decent train to do Epping -> Snaresbrook -> Woodford and then round the Hainault loop to wherever.

Yes it was based on Amersham and is somewhat tongue in cheek. :)

I got to admit that lovely little house right at the end of the line would be a perfect stop over for the night.

Not Pimlico? But it's the only non-interchange station on the Victoria line! (*sings*)

My guess is Heathrow Terminal 4.

Assuming that he's already ruled out Amersham and the 05:49 from Epping, will it be ...

... Chesham, Heathrow T4 or T5, Upminster, Epping (not the 05:49)?

... or something utterly unexpected?
