EL4: Barking Riverside-Hornchurch Barking Riverside Station Renwick Road Lodge Avenue Maplestead Road Goresbrook Road Gale Street Becontree Station Porters Avenue Martins Corner Valence Avenue Green Lane Becontree Heath Whalebone Lane South High Road London Road Romford Market Romford Station Queen's Hospital Roneo Corner Abbs Cross Hornchurch Town Centre I'd cull the EL4 at Becontree Heath instead of sending it to Hornchurch. I don't see much use for the Hornchurch link, especially when provided indirectly in that sort of fashion. London Road does need some extra capacity but a lot of the crowd comes from the area of Chadwell Heath Lane which this route will completely avoid.

Three ideas for a bit of tweaking in the Gidea Park area, creating links that sadly are non existent at present. 1. To create link between Gidea Pk station area/ Drill roundabout area etc and Roneo Corner Tesco. Divert 193 at Brentwood Rd /Park Lane , along Park Lane to Roneo Corner, then as 248/252 to Romford to resume routeing. 2. To create link between Main Rd/ Raphael Park area and Gidea Park station. Divert 498 along Balgores Lane to GP station, giving service to busless part of Balgores Lane, then as 496 via Upper Brentwood Rd to Gallows Corner. 3. Creating link between Slewins Lane and GP station, which doesn't exist, aggravatingly I'm sure for residents. Divert either 370 or 165 at Drill roundabout along Balgores Lane, Station Rd, Brentwood Rd back to Drill roundabout to continue route. All minor alterations, but useful ones I think. To add to these ideas; I'd like to see route 499 return to Romford from Heath Park Estate via Crow Lane, giving a two way service to Crowlands. Difficult I know given the one way status of Crow Lane at the Whalebone Lane end. Could it run via Whalebone Lane South, London Rd and Jutsams Lane to get back to Crow Lane?

The 5, 128, 175, 103 and 499 all manage the Romford to Becontree Heath link and the 5 manages Barking to Romford well. You don't need to over-bus the Romford to Becontree Heath corridor.

Extensions/Changes: 167 extended to Debden That was the route but then Essex council refused to pay up and that's why it got cut back to Loughton, pretty much no chance of it ever retuning in the current climate. Now a nice useful dream. 375 to Debden and not middle of nowhere aaa

Now a nice useful dream. 375 to Debden and not middle of nowhere aaa Romford to Debden or Loughton, yes what a useful link that'll be. I'd not use the 375 though. New Route Idea; Romford Station, as 252 to Eastern Ave (via Mawney Rd), Eastern Ave, Whalebone Lane North, Marks Gate ( direct- not via Rose Lane), Romford Rd, Chigwell Row, Lambourne Rd, Vicarage Lane, Chigwell Village, Chigwell Lane, Debden Station, Rectory Lane, Church Hill, High Rd, LOUGHTON STATION Not going to happen, but I'm sure if it was a reasonably frequent route, 2 bph daytime and 1bph evenings, full oyster, it would get good patronage.

I like too see extend route 297 to Waterloo via Kensal Rise, Harrow Road, Westbourne Park Station, Notting Hill Gate, Kensington, Knightsbridge, Sloane Square, Pimlico Road, Victoria Station, Victoria Street, Horseferry Road, Lambeth Bridge, Lambeth Palace Road, York Road and Waterloo as for the old 46 route and new links and reduce traffic.

New Bus Route: EL5 Hornchurch Town Centre-Barking Riverside Hornchurch Town Centre Hornchurch Station St. George's Hospital South End Road South Hornchurch New Road/Cherry Tree Lane Dagenham New Road/Ballards Road Dagenham Chequers Ripple Road Renwick Road Barking Riverside Station Genuinely like this idea, not sure why Dagenham and Hornchurch don’t have a direct link already. Although the stand space at Hornchurch may not accommodate the EL5.

the changes I would make to the London routes, which needs changing for the better.
3: Extend it to Russell square via British Museum 16: I would merge it with the 32, but its not really necessary 18: Reroute it to sudbury Town station, Sudbury & Harrow Road its not even a used station 26: Extend it to Stratford city, and curtail the 388 to Hackney Wick, as Elephant & Castle traffic is very busy 27: Leave it to Chiswick, Tfl cutting it to Hammersmith is a bit much 31: It needs hybrids i would place EvoSeti, Gemini 2 doesn't suit it to be quite honest 33: If the bridge was strengthened, I would make it double Decker 61: Its not even a packed route with heavy loading, it mostly parallels with other high frequent bus routes, it could be displaced with single decker and would be fine like that, and place the E400 elsewhere or Swap bus allocations with 256 and 61 68: could be withdrawn, but you have hopper fare as well 72: If the bridge was strengthened, I would make it double Decker 73: Merge with the 476 80: double decker conversion 100: extend back to Elephant & Castle 112: Double Decker conversion 124: comes every 8 Minutes at peak 125: Extend it to Enfield and Colinsdale make it an orbital route 126: Conversion to Double decker 128: Extend to Chigwell Row and withdrawn the 150, and 179 go along Clayhall Avenue via 128 and 128 new frequency is every 8-10 minutes 129: Extend to Rotherhithe via pepys estate and salter street and canada water 130: Double decker conversion and withdraw the 466 between East Croydon and Addington Interchange 135: Swap routing between D8 and 135 between crossharbour and canary wharf. Frequency stays the same 143: Double Decker conversion 145: Curtail it to dagenham Village, ballards road and extend the 364 to Dgaenham Asda via 145, as the 145 suffers from terrible traffic 152: Double decker conversion 167: re-extend to debden 195: Double decker conversion 200: Double decker conversion 209: Merge it with the 391 so it goes to sands end, once 391 gets cut to Hammersmith 230: Extend to Wanstead and 357 re route to upper walthamstow 231 & 317: withdrawn and 217 have a higher frequency of 10 minutes 232: Double decker conversion once tthe trees are pruned 235: Double decker conversion 252: Extended to Havering Park and withdraw the 365 and reorute the 165 via Orchard Village 265: Double Decker conversion 289: Double decker conversion 312 merge with 412 and double Decker converted frequency 20 minutes 330: Extended to City Airport 346: Extend to Harold Wood via Shepard's Hill 362: Route restructuring: Chadwell Heath, Grove Road, King Georges Hospital, Billets Lane, Marks Gate, Hainault, Grange Hill 364: Double Decker conversion 396: Withdrawn and 296 double run with no double decker runnings 407: Double decker conversion 200: Double decker conversion 215: Extend it to waltham abbey 436: Extend it to Clapham Junction via lavender hill and queens-town road station 490: double decker conversion 499: If tfl add a traffic light system so both way of crow lane can operate then 499 would go both directions on crow lane and one way around heath park estate 103: Stop at Rainham Tesco 174: Stop at western road towards harold hill C2: Merge with 88 E1: Extend to Osterley tesco H98: Double decker conversion
