The Central Line is very, very long. It spans all six zones in both directions; its most westerly terminus, [[West Ruislip Station]], lies in zone 6, as does its most easterly terminus, [[Epping Station]]. These two stations are 40km apart as the crow flies, and 55km along the tracks.

One aspect of interest is the Hainault Loop - thirteen stations, all in zone 4 near the Epping end, which form a closed circle. Unfortunately it's not possible to travel around them all in a never-ending loop; trains running on the loop generally enter it at [[Wanstead Station|Wanstead]], just after [[Leytonstone Station|Leytonstone]], continue around to [[Woodford Station|Woodford]] or [[Hainault Station|Hainault]], and then reverse. Note that this is why you often hear announcements that a train is for "Woodford via Hainault", or "Hainault via Newbury Park". The track on the Hainault Loop between Wanstead and [[Roding Valley Station|Roding Valley]] is known as "inner rail" (Wanstead to Roding Valley direction) and "outer rail" (other direction) rather than eastbound, westbound, etc.
