Please see the data attached which shows the actual number of eastbound trains that were operated compared to the schedule on the Hainault and Epping branches of the Central line. We are currently operating our full timetable (70) which was introduced in January 2020 (pre-covid). This timetable meant that train services at the eastern end of the line were re-organised to enable the Central Line Improvement Project (CLIP).
