Hi there. Me and a Buddy are about to make our first attempt in a few weeks. We have been looking at a few different starting points. Does nobody start in Epping because it is an easy change to the Victoria line?

Thoughts suggestions? Help.

I have managed to make several routes work to the opening hours Amersham,Epping,Upminster,Morden,Heathrow t5 and t4 starts even 1 im reluctant to give out.The theroy is that an amersham must be either at the end or finish because of the distance out of london.

Epping start yes it hasnt been done yet and can therotically be done allthough i wouldnt say it is the most easiest change to the vic line your choices would be.

Leytonstone/leyton to walthamstow by bus
overground train which would involve 2 runs at either end perhaps
best research all the options u have before deciding u find its not easy.

The 05:49 seems like the first decent train to do Epping -> Snaresbrook -> Woodford and then round the Hainault loop

Ongar starts used to be done, indeed when I was interviewed for a magazine it turned out that the lady writing the article had done a full network starting there. I don't think it's necessary to connect Central to Victoria - there are other options for the northern end of the Vic. So I don't think starting in Epping breaks an obvious connection in the way that starting in Morden does. [Edited]
