The meeting about the Barking area on London Travelwatch has brought up a few transport related matters. The most obvious one is below
Suggests more than just the EL4 is proposed. I wonder where these potential routes will all go, Barking Riverside is quite unique as in the only major town centre that's nearby is Barking where there are already decent enough bus connections. Unless they get a new service zooming up the A13 beyond Beckton.
Also HS1 seems to be getting a station in Barking Riverside, I have to honestly say I didn't see that one coming at all. I imagine this will only be the national service - don't hold any hope for Eurostar stopping there since they snubbed Stratford and I don't see them deciding Barking is any better.
