Definitely disagree, these are roads i drove when I started driving buses in Leyton. The delays went and bus lanes that were on the Southern part of Leyton High Rd was not needed anymore after the link road opened. The only time traffic was there was Leyton Orient match days. Leytonstone High Rd was the same, it was eliminated. It was one of the reasons the 108 was cut back to Stratford due to heavy traffic on the High Rd, the 257 used to have regular turns. When the link road opened, it was a shocking place to see the High Rd at Leytonstone being clear. Then the council decided to do a reverse clash one-way system that bought back traffic to the northern part of the High Rd. It still has not had the kind of traffic that tailed back to Thatched House as it used to pre link road days. Anyone that lived in the area then would tell you, roads like Grove Green Rd etc used to be solid with traffic. some of these delays wrecked the bus network in the 80's and early 90's within the area. The wreckers of the network now is the council with crazy bus lane removal, cycle lanes and side road closures; with the biggest loser being buses. That probably explains why the 66 and 145 used to only go as far as the Green Man back in the day There was a stand. For it to go Leytonstone Station, it would have been the long journey around Church Lane and around Grove Green Rd. The stand was near where the current W15,W16,W19 side is. |

Talk about taking it back to memory lane. |
