A return ticket to Harlow? Is that possible? I thought Harlow was a black hole from which nothing can ever escape! ;-)
As far as I'm aware, Loughton and Harlow are outside the Transport for London area, so Oystercards aren't accepted.
Service 55 takes 1 hour 10 minutes from Homebase, in Loughton, to Harlow Bus station. Here are the times from Homebase:
0738, 0828, 0930, 1030, then hourly.
(Buses call opposite Morrison's 4 minutes later).
The X1 takes 1 hour 4 minutes from Loughton Station to Harlow bus station. Departures times are hourly, starting at 0845.
Sorry, but the fares don't seem to be available on the web. Neither TWH (who run service 55) or Imperial (H1) seem to have websites.
NB: Return services are fairly limited.
The 55 comes back at 0950, 1050, 1150, 1250, 1420, 1520, 1600, 1620, 1720 (No evening service).
The H1 returns at 0955, 1055, 1155, 1255, 1355, 1510, 1555, 1730. (No evening service)
Evening travel means a bus to Epping and then the Tube to Loughton
