Hi everyone!

Just a quick question, I'm travelling today from Teddington to Leytonstone High Road.

Leytonstone High Road is shut for engineering works, will my ticket be accepted to Leytonstone underground station? Or will I have to go to Walthamstow and take the replacement bus?

I'm asking because this will be a PRIV ticket and so I will only get the staff discount if my destination station is NR or LOROL.

I've called and asked TFL who had absolutely no idea and passed me on to NR enquiries who also had no idea...

Any help would be appreciated.

The only Underground stations that a National Rail ticket will be accepted at (for South Tottenham - Barking closure) are Seven Sisters, Tottenham Hale, Blackhorse Road, Walthamstow Central, East Ham and Barking.

You might have incorrectly assumed that the people they employ in help roles are able to look it up on their own website:

National Rail ticketholders
Paper National Rail tickets will be accepted at alternative Tube stations (Finsbury Park, Seven Sisters, Tottenham Hale, Blackhorse Road and Walthamstow Central, East Ham, Barking).
