Walford is only supposed to be down the road from Stratford.

Would probably take longer since the tube is on strike half the time.

Two minutes would be a better description

If they are going to bother putting these things in they should be accurate

Walford replaces Bromley By Bow on the map. It would be silly to get the tube as the district line doesn't go anywhere near Stratford. DLR a much better idea.

On the tube map Walford East replaces Bromley-by Bow.

So you would take the District/Hammersmith & City Line to West Ham and change for Jubilee Line to Stratford. It's probably about right!

It's a toss up between the shows geography and Phil Mitchell's miracle love life.

It is right as I imagine they are thinking Walford is (imaginery) near Bromley-by-Bow. I live down the road in Barking & Dagenham and its not far to Stratford - 30 mins on tube.

District to West Ham and then jubilee to Stratford is 2 stops on 2 trains. Totally would take 10 minutes!

I didn't know that bit about what stop it replaced. But I thought it was in a different position to be honest.

So what started as me saying they were exaggerating turns into me saying they are downplaying it.

I am now a true EE fan cos they can't win either way
