Epping is served by Transport for London rail services, and is the eastern terminus of the Central Line of the London Underground. The Central Line now terminates at Epping. However until 30 September 1994, it used to serve stations at North Weald, Blake Hall and Ongar where services terminated. The station has a car park with 508 spaces and is the second largest car park on the London Underground network, a toilet, a ticket machine, a pay phone as well as seats for sitting outside of the station to wait for buses.

Main Line train services are available from a number of neighbouring towns, with the closest stations to Epping being Roydon, Harlow and Chingford, these are served by the West Anglia Main Line and are operated by Greater Anglia. However there is no direct public transport to Roydon and Chingford stations from Epping, making Harlow station the most accessible.
